What to do if there is a delay in a negative pregnancy test?

If there is no expected menstruation, and only one strip appears on the test, then the following actions can be taken:

• repeat the study 1-2 more times with a break of several days;

• to make US of a small pelvis in a week;

• wait a few more days, perhaps menstruation is simply delayed;

• to remember whether drugs or herbal remedies were taken that could disrupt the cycle and delay menstrual bleeding;

• contact a gynecologist to select a plan for further action.

A blood test that determines the level of human chorionic gonadotropin will help dispel doubts about pregnancy. In non-pregnant women, this figure does not exceed 5 mIU.
