My girlfriend and I had intercourse on 27th July and 10th August. Her last period started on 21st July, and her periods are usually regular. This time, she has not gotten her period. She took pregnancy tests on 24th, 26th, 27th, and 28th August, and all were negative. One doctor advised taking Meprate tablets, but I am still confused. Could she be pregnant, and is it safe to take Meprate in this situation? What should we do next?

If your girlfriend took 4 pregnancy tests after missed period and all are negative, and one doctor advised Meprate, pregnancy is unlikely. Meprate helps bring periods when hormonal delay is suspected. However, before starting it, do a Serum beta hCG Test to rule out even rare pregnancy chance. If negative, Meprate can be taken as per prescription.

I am 26 years old. It has been 62 days since my last period, and I am trying to conceive, but my urine pregnancy test shows negative. I am worried. For the past week, I have been experiencing stomach burns and slight changes in my body condition. What could be the reason?

My girlfriend last menstrual period was on 27th April, and her cycle is usually 45 to 48 days. We had intercourse in May. She took a 5 day course of Meprate 10 mg to try to bring her period early, but it has not started. While on the medication, she took a home pregnancy test, which showed a very faint, almost colorless line (possibly an evaporation line). She repeated the test after 5 days, and it was negative. Could she still be pregnant?
