Q. I took a home pregnancy test at 50 days, which was negative. When should I retake the test?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You have delayed periods due to anovulation. As your pregnancy test shows a negative result taken after 50 days, it is good to check it again tomorrow. If it is negative, then it is advisable to take medications for having withdrawal bleeding. PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is not diagnosed based only on ultrasound reports. It is a lifestyle disorder. You need to modify your lifestyle by reducing your weight. You need to do a complete hemogram, glucose tolerance test, HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c) levels, lipid profile, RFT (renal function test), LFT (liver function test), serum calcium, vitamin D3, and B12 levels, serum fasting, and postprandial insulin levels, serum FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), estradiol, prolactin levels, thyroid profile (T3 (triiodothyronine), T4 (thyroxine), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and anti-TPO (anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies) antibody on the second or third day of your next menstrual period. Do regular exercises and have a modification in your diet. It helps to treat your hormonal imbalance. You can get your periods on time after following these steps. It helps to know your ovulation time. You can take tablet Meprate (Medroxyprogesterone acetate) or Deviry 10 mg (Medroxyprogesterone acetate) twice daily for five days and then stop taking it. You can get your withdrawal bleeding within seven to ten days. If you are trying for pregnancy, it can be achieved naturally without taking medications.
