What if my period is delayed for more than ten days and I am not pregnant?

When a woman is preparing to get pregnant and her menstrual period is delayed, she will definitely think that she may be pregnant. When the menstruation is delayed for more than ten days, you can use an early pregnancy test strip to test, but sometimes the test result is negative, which means you are not pregnant yet. So, what is the reason for not getting pregnant after menstruation is delayed for more than ten days? Reason 1: endocrine imbalance. The woman had sex without using any contraceptive method, and then her menstruation was delayed for more than ten days, but the test still showed no positive reaction. Most of the time, it was due to endocrine imbalance that affected the menstrual cycle.

There are many factors that affect the menstrual cycle, such as diet, medicine, and emotions, which all have a certain impact on the menstrual cycle. If the menstrual period is delayed by less than 7 days, it is normal. If it is delayed by more than ten days, it is most likely caused by endocrine imbalance.

Reason 2: Self-detection error occurs. If a woman uses a pregnancy test strip or a pregnancy test stick to detect pregnancy, improper operation will also affect the test results. For example, urine collection is not standardized, the observation time is not carried out according to the operating instructions, or there are quality problems with the pregnancy test equipment. These many factors will affect the accuracy of the test, and therefore there is a possibility of misdiagnosis. It is recommended to conduct another test or go to the hospital for related tests to obtain more accurate results.

What are the reasons why your period didn’t come?

1. Pregnancy

Ten days after the menstrual period is delayed, you can use an early pregnancy test to test urine. If it is positive, you are likely to be pregnant, otherwise it is negative. But if you are pregnant, you may also experience other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, breast pain, etc. Of course, the final method is to do a B-ultrasound examination.

2. Side effects of drugs

If endocrine imbalance occurs after taking emergency contraception, it may also lead to delayed menstruation. The dopamine receptors in the nerve center are inhibited, resulting in a small amount of factors released by the hypothalamus-pituitary gland entering the anterior pituitary gland. Therefore, the secretion of gonadotropin and corticosteroids by the anterior pituitary gland decreases, causing amenorrhea and delayed ovulation.

3. Surgery

Intrauterine surgical treatment causes cervical adhesions, leading to menstrual blood stasis, which in turn delays menstruation.

4. Mental reasons

Such as psychological disorders such as tension and anxiety, too much pressure, changes in the natural environment, and some diseases that affect the endocrine system. Can cause delayed menstruation.

5. Endocrine imbalance

For example, there is hyperadrenalism, and some patients have chronic diseases, such as anemia, tuberculosis, nephritis, diabetes and other diseases. Experts believe that the above diseases, in addition to harming physical and mental health, are also common causes of amenorrhea.
