Period late but pregnancy test come back negative

I’m 24y/o, married. My period is late. My period is expected to come on 24th October but until now it is no show. I notice these symptoms few days back:
• Missed my period
• Feeling tired frequently
• Mood Swings
• Breast feel swelling (only last for 2-3 days)
• Having backache
• Pimples
• Craving for sweet (ice-cream & cakes)

I’ve tested for pregnancy last 2 days and today, both results come back as negative.

Hi and thank you for asking us

Through the question and statement you gave on the above section, i completely understand your concern over this matter. For your information there are several causes of late period such as:

  • Emotional stress
  • Pregnancy
  • Weight too light or too heavy
  • Exercising too much
  • Not sleeping properly
  • Contraceptive pills
  • Problems with the ovary such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

I advice you to go to the clinic or take the pregnancy test again after 2 weeks of missed pregnancy because if it might be too early for the test to detect the pregnancy hormones called human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG).

Your period late? Get a confirmation and don’t be in the dark anymore.

Although this is a general explanation over this matter, i advice you to seek and consult any doctor at your nearest clinic if the symptom worsens. If you have any more enquiries, you can click on the link (DoctorOnCall) and speak to our doctors in private and get the consultation you need on the phone. Thank you.
