Could I Be Pregnant After Late Period?

Patient's Query

Good morning my name is Lehlohonolo mokomane I got my last period on the 24th of September till the 30th of September and engaged in sexual activity on the 5th of october I think my period is late I tested yesterday and it was negative

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

There are a few reasons why this could be happening. Stress, changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, or even just your body's natural fluctuations can cause delays in your cycle. The negative test result could be due to testing too early or the possibility of a very early pregnancy. My advice would be to wait a few more days and retest, using your first morning urine for the most accurate results. If your period still hasn't arrived after a week or so, it might be a good idea to consult with a gynecologist for further evaluation and support.

I have had long light period that lasted for three weeks and spotting after and now with cervic mucus and a burning sensation in lower abdomen. A few months ago my blood test showed higher LH levels than FSH. What could it be please?

Female | 40

You may have a hormone imbalance, meaning your hormone levels aren't in the right ratio. This can affect your menstrual cycle, leading to spotting between periods, unusual cervical mucus, and lower abdominal pain. A blood test showing higher LH levels compared to FSH also suggests an imbalance. It's important to see a doctor for a full check-up. They can examine you and discuss treatment options, which may include medication or lifestyle changes to manage the imbalance effectively.

Can a woman get pregnant with a low level of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) of 0.06 and a high level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) of 19.6?

Female | 43

The AMH and FSH levels you provided probably offer some information about fertility potential, but they cannot definitively determine if pregnancy is possible. Low AMH levels may suggest reduced ovarian reserve, while high FSH levels indicate diminished ovarian function. Other factors can also influence fertility.. and it's best to consult with a fertility specialist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice based on your situation.

My periods date was 10 I wanted to delay my periods till 16 so I drink apple cider vinegar 3 times yesterday now today I spotted blood

Female | 19

When you took apple cider vinegar to postpone your period, it may have had an impact on your body. If you notice any blood after that, it could be due to the vinegar interfering with your menstrual cycle. This isn’t very common but it can happen. It would be better not to do this with apple cider vinegar again. Your body will probably return to its normal state before long.

Good evening, dear doctors, I am writing to you because I am anxious and worried. I am 49 years old and have had very large fibroids for years that have never given me any problems, apart from swelling and the occasional early or very late period. This summer I had a gynecological visit with ultrasound because it had been about three years since I had a check-up due to anxiety problems that prevent me from going for visits and other fears. The visit went well in the sense that it was the same as three years ago but every doctor almost always suggested that I evaluate the option of removing it to eliminate the problem. This summer my period was a bit irregular, it came a little early, then spotting, then it ended as usual. In October I only had spotting for two weeks and that was it, in November spotting and then a very heavy period that ended a few days ago, still with very light spotting. In the grip of anxiety, I went to the gynecological clinic in my city, and he did a manual examination without an ultrasound, telling me that they are fibroids and to go to another gynecologist to evaluate what to do, I went to a gynecologist the other day and he did an ultrasound and an examination, apart from the fibroids that I already knew about, he told me that the endometrium is vascularized and a little irregular and measures 8mm. He told me that I need to look into it further. A few months ago it always measured 8 mm, but he didn't tell me anything. (He didn't talk to me about hormone levels or premenopause or anything else. I want to do hormone levels to see everything in general) I took a lot of antibiotics months ago for dental problems and I don't know if it could interfere with my cycle. I'm really desperate also because I have a lot of anxiety problems and this doesn't help... I hope it's nothing to worry about.. I'll try to look into it further. Thank you so much. Jenny Italy

I am a 23 year old female. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend and took the morning after pill three times in one month. We had sexual intercourse twice in a span of two weeks and I took the morning after pill both times. Then I got my period so we stopped, when I came off we had sexual intercourse again and I took the morning after pill, then a few days later got heavy bleeding like a period for 6-7 days. Since then we haven’t had any sexual intercourse. This was last month. This month I haven’t gotten my period yet. It’s delayed. Is it because the morning after pills alters hormones? Or am I pregnant?

Female | 23

Since you took the morning after pill multiple times within a month may have altered your menstrual cycle and caused a delay in your period. But there is still a possibility of pregnancy even if you have taken the morning after pill. Because emergency contraception is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy, and repeated use of the pill within a short period of time may decrease its effectiveness.

I had unprotected sex a day after my ovulation and I took contraceptive pills. Will I still get pregnant?

Female | 28

It is possible to prevent pregnancy by taking emergency contraception pills after having unprotected sex. These pills stop or delay the release of an egg from the ovary. However, they do not work all the time. This means that you can still get pregnant. if you have any symptoms such as unusual bleeding or missed period, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test just to be sure.
