Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I'm three days late for my period. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and another one this morning, but both came back negative. Should I be concerned, or could there be another reason for the delay?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It's common for periods to be delayed due to various factors such as stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle adjustments. Since your tests are negative, I recommend waiting for a week and then testing again. If your period still doesn't start, consider doing an ultrasound scan to rule out any underlying issues. If you experience any unusual symptoms, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

 

Thanks
