Why is it that I didn’t get my period even though I tested positive for pregnancy?

As we all know, once a woman becomes pregnant, her menstruation will stop. After giving birth, her body returns to normal and her menstruation will reappear. Of course, sometimes due to some personal reasons, menstruation may be delayed, which is normal. However, some women did not find out that they were pregnant after using pregnancy test methods, but their menstruation has not come in time. So, what is the reason for not having menstruation even though I am not pregnant?

There are many reasons that affect delayed menstruation. The main reasons for delayed menstruation include pregnancy, drug factors, mental factors, disease factors, and changes in living habits or living environment. The specific reasons for delayed menstruation are:

1. Drug factors

Studies have shown that long-term use of birth control pills, emergency contraceptive pills, the gastrokinetic drug metoclopramide, drugs for treating hyperthyroidism, and the Chinese medicine tripterygium wilfordii glycosides can all cause delayed menstruation. For certain medications that may cause delayed menstruation, they should be taken reasonably under the guidance of a doctor if the need for treatment is ruled out.

2. Mental factors

Delayed menstruation is mostly related to mental stress. If a woman is too nervous or under too much work pressure, it may lead to delayed menstruation, dysmenorrhea, or even amenorrhea. Some women may experience abdominal distension, back pain, etc. during their menstrual period. These are all normal and there is no need to be overly nervous.

3. Impact of diseases

Menstrual conditions are closely related to women's physical health. Diseases such as cervical adhesions, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, abnormal thyroid function, chronic hepatitis, tumors, severe iron deficiency anemia, etc. can all lead to delayed menstruation.

4. Changes in living habits or living environment

Bad living habits such as staying up late, excessive dieting, addiction to smoking and drinking, and greed for raw and cold food have a great impact on women's menstruation. Only a healthy lifestyle can keep your menstruation regular. In addition, changes in living environment may also affect the arrival of menstruation. For example, colder weather may cause menstruation to be delayed.
