My period was delayed for two days

Many women are prone to delayed menstruation in their lives, and a two-day delay in menstruation may be a sign of pregnancy. It can be tested with early pregnancy test strips, and the pregnancy can be tested through urine. Taking medications or long-term fatigue and staying up late can also easily lead to delayed menstruation, which requires timely adjustment.

Is it normal for my period to be delayed by two days?

A two-day delay in menstruation may indicate pregnancy or delayed menstruation. Generally speaking, human chorionic gonadotropin will appear in a woman's urine 10 days after she becomes pregnant, and it can be detected by an early pregnancy test. Women usually ovulate 14 days before menstruation, and the egg can survive for 1-2 days. If conception is successful during the ovulation period. If the pregnancy has lasted for more than 10 days after the menstruation is delayed for two days, the urine can be tested directly with a test strip.

When testing, be careful that the urine does not exceed the Max line. Morning urine test results are more reliable, otherwise it will affect the test results. If the test result is positive, you are pregnant and should go to the hospital for an ultrasound pregnancy test as soon as possible to confirm whether you are pregnant and the health of the fetus.

If the result is negative, there are two possibilities:

1. Not pregnant, just a simple delay of menstruation. Generally speaking, it is normal for a woman's menstruation to be advanced or delayed by up to seven days. Even women with regular menstruation may experience temporary menstrual disorders in the short term due to factors such as climate, psychological condition, and medication.

2. You are pregnant, but the test paper cannot detect it for the time being. Generally, accurate results cannot be obtained through urine tests around 10 days of pregnancy, but pregnancy can be confirmed through blood tests. Ultrasound confirmation can not be performed until 45 days of pregnancy. However, it is currently possible to speculate based on some early pregnancy symptoms, such as breast swelling and tingling, darkening of nipples, nausea and vomiting, and decreased energy.

Besides pregnancy, what other reasons can cause delayed menstruation?

1. Due to taking medications, women may need to take medications due to illness in their lives, and some of these medications contain ingredients that can cause delayed menstruation. The most common delay is caused by birth control pills, which affect the normal secretion of estrogen in women.

2. Suffering from disease and being affected by disease. Whether menstruation is normal or not also reflects women's physical health from the side. When women suffer from gynecological diseases such as cervical adhesions, polycystic ovaries, and premature ovarian failure, their menstruation will be delayed.

3. Influence of bad living habits. Women’s living habits have a great impact on the regularity of menstruation. They often stay up late, smoke and drink, and like to eat raw, cold and spicy foods. These bad living habits have a great stimulation to the ovaries, often disrupting the menstrual cycle and delaying the arrival of menstruation.

In short, your period is only delayed for two days. If the urine test result is negative, you will not be able to get accurate results by going to the hospital now. You might as well relax and wait patiently for a week. If your period is delayed for seven days and still has not come, you can go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to confirm whether you are pregnant or have an endocrine disorder, and receive treatment and conditioning as soon as possible.
