Good morning, ma'am, It is recommended that you take a pregnancy test on the first day of your expected period. Are you taking birth control? Thanks for the feedback. In this case, you can take a pregnancy test from the first expected day of menstruation, which seems to be the case for you. A delay can occur without indicating any problems, for example following an episode of illness (or vaccination), stress, fatigue, change of schedule or even without any detectable reason. I suggest that you take a pregnancy test first to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If your pregnancy test is negative, it is suggested that you take another test every 3 days until you are pregnant: A positive result is obtained, or The occurrence of your menstrual period. If your cycle is twice as long as it used to be and your tests remain negative, you should see a doctor. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
