I took Letrozole from day 3 to day 7 of my cycle and ovulated on the 12th day, after which I received an hCG injection on the same day. From day 20 to day 26, I took Duphaston 10 mg. I have not got my period yet, and I have no PMS symptoms so far. My urine pregnancy test came back negative. Is my period delayed because of Duphaston, or is there still a chance that I could be pregnant? How can I confirm this, and until which day should I wait before testing again?

Question

Duphaston can delay your periods if pregnancy has occurred or due to hormonal support, making it unclear whether your period is delayed or you have conceived.
A negative urine pregnancy test may occur if testing is done too early after Duphaston.
Wait for 5 to 7 days after stopping Duphaston before expecting your period.
If your period does not start, you can book a Serum Beta hCG test for accurate pregnancy confirmation.
Continue a healthy diet and avoid stress during this period.

Today is the expected day of my period, but I have not gotten it yet. Can I take a pregnancy test tomorrow morning, and will it give an accurate result?

My LMP was 26th January. Yesterday I did a Beta HCG test because in my UPT it showed negative. Today the report came and my Beta HCG blood report shows 26.22. This is positive or negative?
