20 days late and tests negative

Well, of course, you should go to the DOCTOR; it could be anything, but most often it's an inflammatory process—adnexitis, for example. There's nothing terrible about it if you don't let it get worse.

With inflammation, there should be at least some symptoms, but I'm completely fine, nothing hurts, and even my breasts haven't enlarged as they usually do.

No worries, go see a doctor, let them check you out, do an ultrasound... The main thing is that the tests are negative, so nothing urgent... Maybe you should also get your hormones checked? Perhaps you have some imbalance? Have you tried taking the pill? Generally, such long delays aren't great, but they're not fatal either. Have you been to the doctor recently? At least visit doctors once a year; it won't hurt, and you won't have to be so scared.

Adnexitis, especially chronic, can be asymptomatic and is not always visible on ultrasound... Get a complete blood count.

I used to take the pill before, everything was fine, but it's been 1.5 years since I stopped, and these issues started happening.

Hormonal deficiency, most likely. Low progesterone. Go to the doctor, and they will prescribe you Duphaston or its equivalents. Take it for 10 days, and your period will come.

I had a two-month delay, and the doctor said it was a persistence of the corpus luteum...

I've started taking Remens now, hoping my cycle will regulate. Duphaston has been helpful too; my period started after just four days of taking it.

Go and see a doctor, have an ultrasound and get your progesterone checked. I had the same thing - nothing for a month, had progesterone injections, and it started. Then about six months later - the same nonsense again, got my hormones tested - according to the results, I practically had no second phase of my cycle, progesterone deficiency, in this case, there's simply no reason to expect periods. And plus, a corpus luteum cyst. Had injections again. After that, I gave up and went on the pill (after all the tests and a doctor's prescription, of course), now everything's precise.

What did they prescribe, if it's not a secret?

I had a similar experience recently; I had a 24-day delay and thought I was going to be a mother, even though the tests were negative. Just as I was about to make an appointment, they came....

I have a 20-day delay; sometimes there have been delays of up to 14 days. Two tests are negative, and there are no signs of either pregnancy or my period. What could it be?

Hello, I had a question: Does weight loss have any effect on the female genital organs?

A 25-day delay, sore breasts, backache, and lower abdominal pulling. I went to the doctor, and they said the uterus is a bit soft, as in early stages, but the tests are negative. They sent me for an ultrasound, but it showed nothing. I don't know what to think anymore...

Hello! At the beginning of the month, I had very sore breasts and stomach cramps like during my period, and there was also brown spotting for three days! I went to the doctor, but they didn't find anything and told me to wait, prescribing folic acid and vitamin E! I've taken three tests, all with a faint line! My period is already 20 days late! Has anyone else experienced this? Please respond, I don't know what to think!((((

What are your results?

My period is 22 days late, but my breasts aren't sore and there's no pain at all—I just feel very hungry. Four months ago, I had a cyst, but it resolved on its own. Could it have come back and caused another hormonal imbalance? I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet but will do so in the next few days. My stomach feels bloated as if my period is about to start, but nothing so far.

A 7-day delay, the test was negative, the gynecologist mentioned low progesterone and that there was no ovulation, and prescribed Progynon tablets. I couldn't wait and went for an ultrasound, where the doctor told me that ovulation had occurred because there was some fluid present. Three more days passed after the ultrasound, and in the end, I bought these tablets and started taking them. Now I'm waiting, hoping it's pregnancy.

The delay is already 22 days, tests are showing negative, this has never happened before. I went to the doctor on the 5th day of the delay, and they said there was nothing, the ultrasound also showed nothing. They said it's most likely a hormonal imbalance and prescribed three injections, but I haven't had them, hoping for a miracle. My husband and I have been wanting a child for six years now, but it just hasn't happened.

The delay is already 23 days, the tests are showing negative, but this isn't the first time this has happened to me. Can you advise what to do? And what could be the reason for this?

Hello! How can I assist you today?

I have a 20-day delay, took 5 tests from different brands all negative, my breasts started hurting two days ago, like before my period, I started having a sex life 3 months ago, planning to see a doctor, not sure what this could be?

Hello! I have a 20-day delay now, the tests I've taken are negative, and I'm not experiencing any pain. I fell at work about half a month ago and hit my head—could this have some effect, or is it just a disruption? Thank you!

I'm a guy. My lady is in a similar situation. You've reassured me. Thank you.

Wishing you ladies robust health.

Hello everyone!!! I'm 25 days late. I've taken tests, all negative. On the 16th day of the delay, I had an ultrasound - they said there's 17.2 mm of fluid in the pouch of Douglas, no pregnancy. They said my period will come any day now.

On the 20th day of the delay, I couldn't take it anymore and went to the gynaecologist. He said it's most likely that I am pregnant, as all indirect signs point to pregnancy. But he advised me to come back on 10.12.13. So I'm waiting and scared. I hope I am pregnant after all.

Hello everyone! I'm in the same boat. A 12-day delay, I've already had two ultrasounds and no one is telling me anything. They just said sit and wait! But wait for what....

Same story... a 20-day delay, been taking Duphaston for 15 days, no signs of either period or pregnancy. The doctor said to wait... tests are negative.

I have a 20-day delay, I've taken 4 tests, all negative. I had an ultrasound, no pregnancy, and the gynecologist prescribed Duphaston for 10 days. But I'm reluctant to take any pills; the reviews about them aren't very good. What should I do, any advice??

Hello girls... I'm in a slightly different situation... My period is already 20 days late, I went to the gynaecologist, during the examination they said I was pregnant up to 6 weeks, had an ultrasound, and the doctor said there's nothing there... My breasts are terribly sore, my nipples are sometimes dark and sometimes not, I feel a bit nauseous in the mornings, weak, drowsy... By the way, the test came back negative... Now I don't understand anything at all, and I don't know what to do next either...

19 days late, I've taken 2 tests—both showed one line... I don't want to go to the doctor because a relative works there... I started my sex life 3 months ago... any advice... I'd be grateful...

It's most likely just your cycle being off))) I had a 19-day delay too) tests were negative))) On the nineteenth day, I took another test (it turned out with 1 line) and literally a couple of hours later, my period started) So wait a couple of days, if nothing happens, then rush to the doctor.

Could you please tell me what your outcome was, I'm in an identical situation)
Thanks in advance)

I'm in a similar situation; I've had a 20-day delay. I went to the gynaecologist, and she said I was pregnant (6-7 weeks) and sent me for an ultrasound. After the scan, they said there was no pregnancy and that I needed to take a blood test for hCG. I took the test, and it showed I was pregnant, but the result was low at 6.63. I went back to the gynaecologist with the results, and she said, "Well, it means no, the hCG is small," but we decided to be cautious, and she told me to come back in two weeks with the ultrasound results. The tests are negative, so I don't know if I'm pregnant or not. I have nausea, drowsiness, and I'm craving salty food and meat...

I have a 20-day delay in my period, and I had sexual intercourse before it was due. My breasts have enlarged, I've gained a few kilograms, I occasionally feel mild nausea, and the test shows a negative result. Could this be pregnancy or something else?

Hello everyone... I'm 20 days late... I've taken 3 tests, all with the same result. My husband and I have just started trying for a baby. This is the first time I've had such a long delay; before, it was a maximum of 10 days. Once, just before my period was due, I had some light brown discharge in the morning, but it stopped. I'm constantly dizzy... often nauseous... and for a week, my nipples have been very sore. Finally, I'm going to the gynaecologist tomorrow...

I have a 21-day delay (32-day cycle) - the test is negative (last period 24.10.2014). Yesterday, I had an ultrasound - here are the results: uterine size 38*35*41 - normal, myometrial echo structure - homogeneous, no formations. Endometrium 6.3 mm, clear echo structure. No formations in the uterine cavity. The uterine cavity is not dilated. Right ovary - echo structure: follicular apparatus is differentiated, there is a dominant follicle of 17 mm, no volumetric formations. No free fluid in the pouch of Douglas. The doctor prescribed pregnancy tests without examining me. Can you suggest what this might be and what to do?

What was the outcome for you?

Hello! I had a 15-day delay, took a test after one day of delay which was negative, visited a gynaecologist who confirmed a pregnancy at 5 weeks, but on the 16th day of the delay, what seems like my period started (first day) – not as heavy as usual on the first day, but it's there, and my back is aching terribly. During the delay, I had many pregnancy symptoms: fever, terribly sore breasts – now not as much, but still painful, lower abdomen pulling, lower back pain, frequent trips to the toilet at night, which wasn't the case before, heightened sense of smell, and even now during what seems like my period or whatever this is?

Hello everyone. I'm 8 days late. The tests are negative. Before this, I had low progesterone. I took Duphaston for 5 months. Then I stopped taking it. I don't know if I'm pregnant or not? I really want a baby. It didn't happen for a long time before. I'm constantly sleepy, and I've lost my appetite.

Please, can someone advise me!! As of today, 7.04.2015, I have a 20-day delay, I've taken 5 tests, all negative! Today, I went for an ultrasound, and no gestational sac was seen; free fluid was detected in the pouch of Douglas, and my right ovary is enlarged (15.4 cubic cm) with a corpus luteum (19 mm)! Moreover, I had an ultrasound on 12.03.2015, and there was no fluid then, and the corpus luteum was (8 mm in diameter). Is it possible that I am pregnant? I really hope so! We really want a baby!))) And I'm very worried that it might be an ectopic pregnancy((

Hi, I also have 20 days delay now, no period, no symptoms, ultrasound said wait it's early stage and my gyno says the same thing, tests negative. Did about 25 tests from different brands))), gyno prescribed folic acid and vitamins and that's it. Don't know what to do, now trying not to lift heavy things, run, we really want a child tired of living in waiting for a miracle better have period than such uncertainty. Lost sleep over all this + on top of that I eat when not sleeping that's how it is girls. Told to wait another 15 days then I'll definitely update.

Hey there, make sure to reply later! I'm already on day 25 of my delay today, but I can't get an hCG blood test done yet. As soon as I get back to the city, I'll definitely go and have it done—this uncertainty is really getting on my nerves! We're still believing and hoping for a miracle; we really want a baby so much! Have you ever tried getting an hCG blood test? They say it gives the most reliable result)))

Twenty days late, took three tests at different times—all negative... No symptoms, just a metallic taste in the mouth... And I've gained quite a bit of weight...

Akulina, what ended up happening with you?

A 20-day delay! I took the first test on the fourth day of the delay, and it was negative. Then I did another on the sixteenth day, and it was also negative. There are no signs of pregnancy at all. It's just that there's some sort of bubbling in the left and right ovary! Now is not the time for a child, with studies. Can anyone say what this might be?

Hello girls! I'm 15 days late now. I took a test on the 3rd and 8th day - both negative! My breasts are a bit sore. Sometimes my stomach feels like it's pulling, as if my period is about to start. There are no other signs, like darkened nipples, nausea, or anything else. Last summer, I had a similar delay, got my thyroid checked - everything was normal. Also had hormone tests - again, all normal. They induced my period with progesterone injections. Then everything sorted itself out. And now, a year later, it's starting again. I have a regular sex life and we don't use protection. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I've read on forums that some people's tests don't show positive, but I think in my case, that's unlikely. There would have been at least some signs of pregnancy by now...

Girls, it's been 22 days of delay ((my period ended on June 26th. I had unprotected sex in early July. I'm tormented by awful doubts that the baby is unwanted, and the guy was only for a casual relationship; it was my first time trying my luck without commitments. The tests on day 9 were negative, and on day 11 too. The gynecologist felt my abdomen and didn't notice any uterine enlargement. I'm only having an ultrasound tomorrow... I can't fall asleep until 2 a.m. (( Maybe someone has been in such situations?
