Patient's question:
My last menstrual period started on the 1st of last month. Around the 3rd of this month, I had a slight bit of blood (very light color), but it disappeared after a while. It hasn't come yet. Yesterday, I used a test strip, and the result was negative for pregnancy. I want to ask, since I'm not pregnant, why hasn't my period come? It used to be very regular, usually coming around the end of the month or around the 1st. This month, it's been delayed by 7 days and still hasn't arrived.Doctor's answer:
