Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My periods are delayed for four to five days. However, the pregnancy test came negative.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

Sometimes periods might get delayed by one to two weeks because of some stress or recent illness. There is also a possibility that an early pregnancy might show false results. So, I suggest you wait for two weeks after the due date of your period. Do a urine pregnancy test again to get a clear picture.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
