Missed last two periods & three pregnancy tests have been negative

	Asked by josie (Female; 36; Stopped using the Pill over 10yrs ago, not using any other form of contreception. Otherwise healthy, rarely visit a doctor. Had a child 9yrs ago.; Relevant drugs:none ) on Tue 16, Jun 2009 09:07am
	My last period was on 20th April 09 & I've not had one since. I have had no symptoms of pregnancy other than a lower backache last week which lasted approx 1wk. I've just had a smear test & not had one previous to that for 12yrs. I had done 2 home pregnancy tests after I missed my first period in April & 1 about a week ago; all were negative. I have only ever missed a period once which was approx about 7mths ago for the one month, otherwise my periods are regular.

	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Tue 30, Jun 2009 10:24pm: Hi, Aside from pregnancy, absence of menstruation may be due to hormonal changes, structural problems ( presence of polyps, etc), thyroid problems, or stress. You can have the more accurate serum HCG test to rule out pregnancy. If it persists, have this evaluated further by your gynecologist for proper diagnosis and management. Complete physical examination and some tests will determine the underlying cause. Take care and best regards. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
