Missed Period: Possible Causes & What to Do

Question
Hi, i haven't had a period this month. My last period was in march. i took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Could i be pregnant?

Answer
If you have long or irregular cycles, it is possible that you are still in the later phase of your cycle.  If you are pregnant, you could also be producing lower-than-normal hormone levels.  Either of these situations can produce a false negative.  Try waiting a week or two and testing again.  If you are not pregnant, external factors such as stress, dieting, and exercise can often delay a period.  If you do not get your period within a few weeks, consult your doctor.
