Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I do if my period doesn't come and the test strips don't show a result?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's not certain at this point that you're not pregnant, as a urine test sometimes may yield a false negative. Therefore, it's still necessary for you to get a blood HCG test. If the result is normal, then you definitely aren't pregnant, and you'll need to use progesterone to induce your period. This could be due to threatened miscarriage, and you'll need to go to the hospital for hormone 6 tests and an ultrasound. Medication such as intramuscular or oral progesterone may be administered. Rest in bed during the day, and avoid strenuous exercise. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods.
