My last period came on 1st February. On 1st March, I had severe pain with a little pinkish discharge, and after two days, a red spot appeared. Pregnancy test and urine test were negative. Today is 8th March, and my period has not come. What should I do? Am I pregnant or not? What is the reason for the negative test?

A late period with negative pregnancy tests usually means you are not pregnant. The pain and pink discharge could be early period signs or hormonal imbalance. Stress, weight change, or travel can delay periods too. To be sure, take a blood beta hCG test its more accurate than urine. If still negative, your period may come soon.

Madam/sir I missed my periods on 26th October. I took a test on 27th October beta hcg blood test that was negative and after 3 days I again took a test on 30th October that was positive 27.01. My question is I read online that one time beta hcg test is enough to detect pregnancy after missed periods. Why in my case it took 4 more days after missed periods? I got really worried?

Hi, I am taking Meprate 10 mg for 5 days. Today I completed my 4th day of the dose and I am experiencing slight breast pain. I was prescribed Meprate because my period was delayed by 15 days and my pregnancy test was negative. Could you please help me understand if this is normal?
