If my pregnancy test is negative, why are my periods delayed?
Periods usually come approximately 14 days after you ovulate. Being pregnant is only one reason why you period may be delayed but having a normal but delayed or an abnormal ovulation are other reasons and these are common. If you're developing changes in your menstrual pattern and you're having trouble getting pregnant, you should consult your gynecologist or see a fertility specialist. Ben Gocial, M.D. READ MORE
