Question 1

what else can cause a missed period besides pregnancy? i am 2 weeks late and the tests are negative. i have several personal problems and stress.

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: In a woman with regular periods, some causes of a late period include: excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (like birth control pills), hormonal imbalances, etc…  Seeing a doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome. Pregnancy is the common cause of a missed period, if sexually active.

Question 2

what are the causes of a missed period besides pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Late ovulation: Late ovulation, hands down, is the most frequent reason for a late period (period starts late.) for a missed period (doesn't come at all, ) pregnancy is top of the list, but weight loss/gain, some medicines, ovarian failure/menopause are also possible (as well as others.).

Question 3

what other things can cause a missed period besides pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Several things: This problem can only be solved by seeing your doctor and being evaluated face-to-face.  After a thorough examination, your doctor should be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Question 4

whats the cause of a missed periods by 4 days with negative pregancy test.  this is not 2nd time this has happened to me in 4 months?

Accepted Answer

Period delay: After 35, the ovary needs more stimulation to ovulate. If ovulation then occurs, the period will begin in about 14 days (if not pregnant, of course). A delay in ovulation is therefore going to delay the onset of your period.  This kind of effect can be avoided by using oral bcp's, (if there are no contraindications) also reducing PMS and the effects of estrogen withdrawal.

Question 5

why did i miss period after 6 months of regular cycle with siphene 50 mg? the pregnancy test is negative. i checked after 10 days of missed period?

Accepted Answer

Siphene (clomid) ?'s: Siphene is used to induce ovulation.  If a home pregnancy test is negative "ten days after missed period", ovulation/pregnancy probably did not occur.  You may require a higher dose (100 mg) of Siphene, but ask your gyn about a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), which can clear the tubes, the most common statistical cause of infertility.

Question 6

missed period and negative pregnancy test? i only miss a period when i am pregnant its been almost 2 years since my d&c i havent had any issues help

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: Today's home pregnancy tests are very accurate and not affected by foods, herbs, common illnesses, sexually transmitted diseases, or medications. A correctly done urine test will give a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after possible conception) or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon.

Question 7

hi i am married women age 31 . my period was regular but this month i missed period 12 days late and negative pregnancy test.what caus period miss ?

Accepted Answer

Late period ?
: Menstrual periods occur 14 days before the onset of a period, unless pregnancy intervenes.  A delay in onset may be caused by stress (emotional, covid, etc.) . To be certain about pregnancy, obtain a serum HCG test.  If positive, see your OBGYN for an exam and other testing.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

See below: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon. Anovulatory cycles are one cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. You may wish to consult this site for more information.
