I want to get pregnant. Can some advice me? I need help. I'm already 40 but still hoping to get pregnant.

Question

Hi, I am 40 y.o. married and planning to have a baby. It's been a month that I'm taking folic acid. The thing is my period is delayed for 12 days and I did my pregnancy test this morning it came out negative. What should I do?

Hello, thank you for your question. A delay in menses can occur following a period of sickness or vaccination, stress, fatigue, schedule change or even without any reason often. I suggest having a test done every 3 days or until your menses. If your cycle length becomes doubled, I suggest consulting your doctor. I will remain available if you have any other questions.
