Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
My period is over a week late, but a home pregnancy test was negative three days ago. I have sore breasts, lower abdominal cramps, and some discharge. What could be causing this?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It's important to confirm whether you're pregnant and rule out an ectopic pregnancy. I recommend a serum HCG test and an ultrasound to check for pregnancy and its location. If you're not pregnant, your period may just be delayed, but we should also investigate the cause of the delay. I advise seeing a specialist for further evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Thanks
