Could my late period be due to pregnancy risk?

Your period's regularity could result from anxiety, hormonal shifts, or perhaps pre­gnancy. Signs might include abdominal bloating, me­nstrual-like cramps, and tender bre­asts. It's wise to be patient, se­e if menstruation begins. If it doe­sn't, consider getting a pregnancy test for de­finitive confirmation.

The presence of O-negative blood in your partner who is positive may result in the necessity of an antibody check. Positive ICT test results indicate a possible reaction of your blood to the baby's blood which can lead to complications. Symptoms may include jaundice in the baby. Treatment can include monitoring the baby carefully and giving appropriate care after birth.

Period symptoms don’t usually include stomach aches, but it seems that’s what you’re going through. Weakness, dizziness, and fatigue may be low iron in the blood or hormonal changes. Ensure you take a healthy diet consisting of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Apart from that, drink enough water and have a good sleep. Should these symptoms persist, seeking medical attention for further investigation is vital.

The first thing you should do is to take a test. Should your test result as positive, arrange for an appointment with an obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN) promptly. If the test result is negative and you see that your period of menstruation still has not started by the end of a week, you should also visit a doctor to establish the cause of the delay.
