We had unprotected sex, and afterward, we checked for pregnancy three times using home tests, all of which were negative. However, period has not occurred for the past 40 days.

If 40 days have passed with no period, its time to confirm with a Beta HCG blood test. Sometimes urine tests can miss early pregnancy. If Beta HCG is also negative, missed periods may be due to stress, hormonal imbalance, or lifestyle factors. Late periods are common and usually not serious.

Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test

My last menstrual period was on 22nd August. On 27th August, my endometrial lining was measured at 16 mm. My pregnancy test is negative. I do not have polycystic ovaries, and my menstrual cycles are usually regular, but last time the period lasted only 2.5 days. What should be the next step?

Hi Doctor, I am planning for pregnancy this month and had intercourse on my fertile days. Tomorrow is my period due date. My last LMP was 04 oct. My urine pregnancy test showed a faint line yesterday and today. I did a beta hCG blood test today and the result is 14.67. Am I pregnant or not?

I have missed my period for 30 days, and my pregnancy test came back negative. Should I still wait for my period to start, or should I take any further steps?
