  4. Health Queries for Altraday Capsule 10's

  5. My last menstrual period was on 27 July. I have hypothyroidism, and my TSH was 6.57 on 9 August, so my doctor increased my Thyronorm dose from 50 to 75 mcg. I took a urine pregnancy test on 3 September, which was negative, but my periods have still not started as of 7 September. Could I still be pregnant, and why would the test be negative if I might be pregnant?

Have a query?

A negative urine pregnancy test usually indicates that you are not pregnant, especially if it is taken several weeks after the last period. Delayed periods may occur due to hormonal changes, thyroid imbalance, stress, or irregular menstrual cycles. If your period still does not start, repeat the pregnancy test after a few days or consult your doctor for further evaluation.

  1. Pregnancy Possibility:

    • A negative urine pregnancy test on September 3rd suggests you are not pregnant, but false negatives can occur.
    • Consider repeating the test or consulting your doctor for a blood test for more accurate results.

  2. Delayed Periods:

    • Hypothyroidism and changes in medication can affect menstrual cycles.
    • Monitor your cycle and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

  3. Next Steps:

    • If periods remain absent, follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
    • Ensure your thyroid levels are regularly monitored to maintain optimal health.
