I have been experiencing symptoms that could indicate pregnancy, including headache, backache, nausea, and fatigue. My period is 10 days late. I took a pregnancy test five days ago and it was negative, and I took another one today which was also negative. I was taking birth control but stopped when I noticed my period was late, hoping it might start. I have scheduled an appointment with my primary doctor, but it is not for another two weeks.

Even if two UPTs were negative, symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and backache still need review. A Serum beta hCG is more sensitive and confirms pregnancy. If still negative, consult your doctor to rule out hormonal delay.

I have not gotten my period for 2 months and am taking some medication to induce it. I have done two pregnancy tests, both negative. I have been experiencing period like pain for the past week, but my period has still not started. What should I do? Could I be pregnant?

Hello doctor, when is the right time to do a beta HCG test? I got a negative UPT. I was supposed to have my periods on 18th July, but they are irregular due to PCOD. I am on Normoz DS and taking folic acid. Please advise.

Hi, I missed my period last month and took a pregnancy test, which was negative. I consulted a doctor, and she prescribed Meprate tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, and Thursday was the last day of taking the tablets, but I still have not gotten my period. How many days after stopping the medication does it usually take for periods to start? Please advise. Thank you.
