Sometimes a woman does not know how to act when she did a pregnancy test, and he turned out to be negative on delay. It is unambiguous that this is not a normal state and requires careful consideration.
What happens when the first day of delay, and the test is negative?
Most often, the delay is caused by pregnancy and everyone knows about it, but without seeing the two strips, the woman is at a loss, not knowing whether to wait a little more or run to the gynecologist.
Not always in the body, even in the presence of pregnancy, there is a sufficient level of hCG , so that it can be felt by the device. After all, ovulation and conception could occur shortly before menstruation, and accordingly, the level of pregnancy hormone in the urine is negligible. Because it is worth the wait a couple more days and make a test again, without fail taking the other one.
Another option gives a more reliable result - a blood test for hCG carried out in the laboratory will detect pregnancy even before the delay, because the concentration of this hormone in the blood is much higher than in the urine.
Whether to go to the doctor, if the delay is 15 days and the test is negative?
If the menstruation is delayed for two weeks, then this is the reason for contacting the doctor. It often happens that a woman feels numerous signs of pregnancy - weakness, nausea, engorgement of the mammary glands, and the test does not show anything.
In most cases, this condition occurs due to a malfunction of the hormonal background. This can happen because of excessive physical exertion (hard work, extreme sports, lifting weights in the gym), climate change, stress, depression, a disease accompanied by serious medication. Another proof of the hormonal nature of the delay in menstruation is white discharge with a negative test.
If the doctor has not revealed any gynecological disease, then for the normalization of the cycle, the drug Dufaston, which soon causes menstrual bleeding, is prescribed.
But it should be borne in mind that a small delay of two weeks to two months can take place in a healthy woman, if not a year after the birth of the child. During this period, the body restores its functions and such incidents are permissible.
What if there is no monthly for very long?
With gynecological and endocrine problems (fibroids, polycystosis of the ovaries, tumors of the female sexual sphere), a delay of 2 months and longer may be possible, although the test is negative. But also these diseases can give a false positive result and you can learn the truth only with the help of ultrasound and a complete set of tests, including hormones.
If a woman does not contact the doctor after such a long delay, then this is a wrong decision, because the problems that caused the absence of menstruation can be much more serious than it really is.
After 40 years, a negative test and a delay in menstruation do not always indicate a disease, although such a situation is not uncommon. Climacteric changes occurring in the female body at the end of childbearing age very often affect the level of female sex hormones, and therefore at this age the woman should be observed at the gynecologist.
In most cases, the delay in menstruation for more than seven days is an occasion to seek specialized care, especially when the test stubbornly does not show the second strip. This is the body's signal about the malfunctions, which can not be corrected independently.
