My doctor has put me on progesterone suppositories since day 14 of my cycle to support a possible pregnancy. My period is four days late, and I have a negative home pregnancy test as well as a negative blood test. Can the progesterone suppositories be causing my period to be late?

Progesterone supports the uterine lining and can delay your period even if you are not pregnant. Since both home and Beta hCG blood tests are negative, pregnancy is unlikely. Your period should resume after stopping the suppository. If not, retest or consult a gynecologist.

I had sex with my boyfriend on the 24th and 25th, and my period was due on the 27th. I have not gotten my period yet. I took pregnancy tests on the 31st and the 1st, and both were negative. I still have not gotten my period. What should I do?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My last period was on July 25. I did a beta HCG test on August 25, and the result was 0.4, so I am not pregnant. However, as of August 30, I still have not gotten my period. How can I get pregnant now? My first child is 7 years old.

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.
