Menstruation delayed for 10 days and no pregnancy test

Menstrual period is a major indicator to determine whether a woman's menstrual cycle is stable. If the menstruation is irregular, pregnancy will be affected to a large extent. Delayed menstruation is a typical manifestation of irregular menstruation. Women often experience delayed menstruation or early menstruation. There are many reasons for delayed menstruation. For women of childbearing age, delayed menstruation may be caused by pregnancy.

What could be the reason for not being pregnant when the menstrual period is delayed for 10 days?

Test strips are not accurate

If you test positive for no pregnancy after your period is delayed for 10 days, it may be because the test strips are inaccurate, making you mistakenly think you are not pregnant. If you are sure that you have had sex before your period is delayed, or even during your ovulation period, then you need to test your morning urine with a pregnancy test strip three days later to see if you are pregnant.

Side effects of medications

If your period is delayed for 10 days and you don't get pregnant during the test, in addition to the situation where the test paper fails to detect the result, it may also be because you have been taking emergency contraception or other drugs (the new generation of gastrokinetic drug Metoclopramide, also known as domperidone, can cause menstrual disorders) for a long time, causing endocrine imbalance and thus leading to delayed menstruation.

Delayed menstruation after abortion

If your period is delayed for 10 days and you test positive for no pregnancy, you may also consider that the delay is caused by an abortion. Generally speaking, the second menstrual cycle will come with the onset of an abortion in early pregnancy. In many cases, due to the changes in the body's hormones caused by an abortion, the ovulation period may be delayed, and the menstrual period may also be postponed. Therefore, there may be no menstruation for one or several months after an abortion.

In addition, in addition to artificial abortion, surgery in the uterine cavity may also cause cervical blood congestion, resulting in delayed menstruation.

Premature ovarian failure

If your period is delayed for 10 days and you do not get pregnant during the test, it may be caused by premature ovarian failure. Premature ovarian failure is caused by abnormalities in the ovaries. The main symptoms are often delayed menstruation, infrequent menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility. Symptoms similar to menopause may occur, such as vaginal dryness, difficulty in sexual life, sweating and insomnia.

Long-term exposure to harmful substances

If your period is delayed for 10 days and you test positive for pregnancy, you can also check whether it is affected by occupational diseases. Because some occupational relationships will cause long-term exposure to harmful radiation, chemotherapy drugs, etc., which may cause premature ovarian failure and delayed menstruation.

For special female friends, you must pay attention to the protection of the uterus and ovaries. For older women (over 40 years old), delayed menstruation and other uterine wall diseases are mostly caused by the gradual decline of the ovaries, and clinical medicine does not provide special treatment.

Other elements

In addition to the above-mentioned key factors, if you test positive for no pregnancy after your period is delayed for 10 days, it may also be due to stress, too much work pressure, lack of vitamin E, excessive weight loss, excessive dieting, environmental changes, psychological factors and other factors that cause endocrine imbalance, leading to menstrual disorders and thus the phenomenon of delayed menstruation for 10 days.

Friendly reminder

If menstruation is delayed only 1-2 times and there are no other accompanying symptoms, it does not fall into the category of menstrual disorders. If menstruation is delayed by 10 days for more than two consecutive months, or the interval between menstrual cycles is more than 35 days and amenorrhea exceeds 3 months, it can be considered that the menstrual disorder is caused by urinary system diseases. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
