Test Result:
Negative
A negative test can still leave questions. You’re not alone. Eva Women's Clinic is here to support.
Answers are here if you need them.
Why Did I Miss My Period?
Missing a period can feel stressful, especially if it’s unexpected. While pregnancy is one possible reason, it isn’t the only explanation. Your menstrual cycle is closely tied to your hormones, and many things in daily life can throw it off.
-
STRESS, ANOREXIA OR BULIMIA
Emotional stress, eating disorders, or major changes in weight can interfere with your hormones and delay ovulation. If life feels overwhelming, your body may be signaling the strain. Talking with someone you trust and seeking support can help restore balance.
-
BIRTH CONTROL
Certain birth control methods like the pill, patch, implant, or shot may make periods lighter or stop them altogether. If you suspect this could be the reason you missed your period, it’s best to contact your healthcare provider.
-
AN EARLY PREGNANCY
A negative test doesn’t always rule out pregnancy. It takes time for pregnancy hormones to rise high enough to be detected. If your period still doesn’t come, retest in a week. Until then, avoid alcohol and drugs, and protect your health in case you are pregnant.
-
BREAST FEEDING
If you are breastfeeding, your body may naturally pause ovulation. This can delay the return of regular periods, but pregnancy is still possible even without a period.
Remember...
Even if your period hasn’t returned, your body can still release an egg at any time. Ovulation often happens before the first visible sign of a period.
That means pregnancy is still possible, even when your cycle feels irregular or absent.
If you are sexually active, it’s wise to consider your health, timing, and options for protection. And if you think you might be pregnant again, retesting or scheduling a follow-up visit can give you clarity and peace of mind.
