Delayed periods, having early pregnancy symptoms. HPT negative. Nursing baby. Chances of pregnancy?
Patient: My period is 2 weeks late this month. Hpts have all been negative, but I've had excessive saliva, nausea/mild vomiting, menstrual like cramps, and fatigue. With my 3rd pregnancy, it wasn't detected on a hpt until my second missed period. I am nursing my 1 year old, but he is in the process of weaning, so it's not nearly as often. I have had a regular period since 8 months pp. Doctor: Hi,  Because of breast feeding ( though in weaning phase) &the menses were regular, there is possibility of  an anovulatery cycles/ late ovulation  in between . Or a span of no menses in between. In such a case you won't have coseption.     In case you had late ovulation you may have conceived at a later date & pregnancy test will turn +ve afterwords.         Please repete blood HCG test after 15 days & consult a gynecologist for evaluation after detailed examination.         In case there is no pregnancy ,you have to adopt a contraception method to avoid such tension in future.         Thanks
