A member asked:
What is the difference between a late period and a missed period? why is a late period a sign if pregnancy if your period actually came?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a sign of preg: A late period is not a confirmed sign of pregnancy just as a missed period is. Pregnancy test is the only confirming sign of pregnancy in the early stages.
