Why have I missed my periods by more than 1 month?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have reviewed your health query and can well understand that you are worried about the chances of pregnancy.

You have missed your periods, and there are many causes for that. One of them is pregnancy. You have done the Prega News test at home and got two lines of different intensity colors (one is dark and one light-colored). This means either the test is not performed correctly, the strip may be damaged, expired, or you may be under the influence of some medications (see the leaflet information given with the test strip for drugs that can interfere with your test strip and provide a false result).

In such a case, the best next step is to either wait for about four to five days and repeat the test or go immediately to a hospital for a proper pregnancy test and ultrasound evaluation of the uterus. This makes everything clear.

The management of the case depends on your choice. In case you are pregnant (that is not sure at this point), you need to consult your gynecologist to discuss if you need the baby or not. If you do not need the baby, your gynecologist can best guide you on how to proceed. The medications in most countries are not available over the counter. You need a proper prescription for the medicines to abort the baby. Even if you can get the medications over the counter, I would say not to take them without a doctor's consent as it may cause excessive bleeding and a lot more complications in your reproductive life. Sometimes, the situation leads to life-threatening complications. You need a proper cover of a gynecologist to manage the case.

I hope it helps. Please feel free to ask more if you have doubts or need further assistance.
