month 1/2 late menstrual period and i'm just getting the run around help! i want answers.?

Accepted Answer

Missed period: Check home pregnancy test. If negative, you may have failed to ovulate, and your hormone levels did not properly prepare and stimulate your uterus to cause bleeding. Your period occurs when you have a decrease in Progesterone and causes the uterine lining to shed because you are not pregnant, and the uterus prepares for the next cycle. If the uterus doesn't build up a lining, it will not bleed.

Question 10

i am experiencing missed or late menstrual period. when should i take a test it's been 4 days?

Accepted Answer

Now: Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about 2-3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex.
