What is the matter with not detecting pregnancy after a 15-day delay in menstruation?

Patient's question:

[Condition Description: Hello, doctor, my period is 15 days late, but I haven't tested positive for pregnancy yet. What's going on? Is there a problem? Please advise, thank you.
History of Treatment and Effects: Had cervicitis last year, which was later cured.
Help Needed: Why can't I test positive for pregnancy, and why haven't I had my period.]

Doctor's answer:

Hello! There are two possibilities for your situation. First, it could be caused by pregnancy, as you had sexual intercourse before. If there was no contraception, it's still possible to get pregnant. In this case, you should wait for a certain period and then take a pregnancy test. The second possibility is a normal menstrual cycle delay. Many factors can affect women, such as environmental changes, diet, and psychological stress, which can lead to a delayed period. Generally, a delay of up to 7 days is considered normal. In this case, you should wait a few days to see if your period arrives. Wishing you good health.
