Doctors for 7 days after a missed period

If a woman is trying to get pregnant and misses her period, then it is justified to pay attention to pregnancy conception. In such a situation, it is necessary to test with a pregnancy kit. Research also says that after 7 days of missed periods, there are more chances of getting the result of the pregnancy test accurate.

If a woman becomes pregnant, it may take 7 to 12 days for her body to develop the level of pregnancy hormone i.e. human chorionic gonadotropin. In such a situation, the correct result may come after 7 days of missed period.

If nothing is clear from the pregnancy test kit even after 7 days, then after waiting for a few more days, the test should be done again. Along with this, pregnancy should also be confirmed by meeting the doctor.

If the pregnancy test comes back negative even after 7 days of a missed period, it could be because of the following reasons -

  • In some cases, the HCG hormone is produced late or its level is low in the beginning, due to which the pregnancy test may come negative.
  • Test negative can also come due to ectopic pregnancy. In this condition, instead of going to the uterus, the fertilized egg is attached to the fallopian tube. Periods can be missed if this happens, but the pregnancy test can come negative.
  • Periods can also come late due to irregular menstruation and the woman feels that she is pregnant. Once this happens, it is necessary to get a checkup done by the doctor.
  • Apart from this, periods can also be delayed due to breastfeeding, being sick, exercising excessively, traveling more, or taking stress.
