A member asked:

Im 5days late for my period took a test was negative. what to do im confused?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wait and repeat: You may want to repeat the pregnancy test in another 5 days, but there are many causes for late or missed periods, particularly in young or perimenopausal women. Physical or emotional stress, changes in strenuous exercise, dietary restrictions or excess, medications, to name a few.
