YOU CAN’T BE PREGNANT IF YOUR PREGNANCY TEST(taken at least 10 days after ovulation or, at most, 5 days before an expected period) IS NEGATIVE. If you are not pregnant, missing your period could be caused by a hormonally active ovarian cyst. If the egg-cell wasn’t expelled from the Graph’s follicle (no ovulation), the follicle can transform itself into a follicle cyst that produces estrogen. A high amount of estrogen causes a delayed but profuse menstrual bleeding. Rogesterone is a hormone-progesterone that neutralizes the effect of estrogen on the endometrial mucosa and allows menstruation to occur. You will want to follow up clsoely with your gynecologist to monitor your body's reaction to the hormones and your ovarian/hormonal health.
