I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hi dear ,

No you are not pregnant dear.

Urine pregnancy tests usually turn positive within 14 days after sex/ovulation if you are pregnant. By 14th September, it had been 20 days since sex and more than 5 weeks since your last period Multiple negatives at this stage is very reliable.

✅ So, you are not pregnant.

If no periods by the end of September, please consult your gynaecologist in person . Feel free to ask. Thank you dear

I am working in medicine from last 10 years, and in that time I got to see and learn from many different kind of patients and clinical situations. Some days were about routine opd cases, fevers, diabetes follow up, other days meant handling tough emergencies where every second matterd. Over this period I grew more confident in making clinical judgement, choosing right investigations, and explaining things in a way that patient and family could actually understand without too much medical jargon. My focus is always on giving treatment that is both evidence based and also practical for daily life. I try not to look at disease in isolation but at the whole body and mind together, cause often small details in lifestyle or stress pattern make a big difference in recovery. In hospital settings I managed both inpatient and outpatient care, coordinated with nursing staff, and took part in ward rounds where teamwork mattered more than individual effort. Across 10 yrs of work I also made a point to keep learning newer protocols, whether in management of hypertension, respiratory infections, or acute cardiac complaints. And yes mistakes were there too—early in career I was slower in procedures like IV cannula or suturing, but I learnt by doing, by watching seniors and then practicing until it came natural. Over time I handled more complicated cases, sometimes multiple co-morbidities in one patient, and realised that patience and listening carefully are as important as prescribing medicine. I continue to refine my approach, balancing between clinical efficiency and compassionate care. For me, the real achievement is not only in diagnosis but in seeing a patient return home safer and more reassured. Even now after a decade, I still find myself learning something new from every case, every interaction. That keeps me grounded and motivated to serve better each day.

Your period delay can happen for many reasons, and from what you’ve shared, pregnancy is very unlikely. Since your last period was on 7th August and you had sex on 25th August, you’ve already tested multiple times in September (on the 4th, 5th, 10th, 12th, and 14th), and all urine pregnancy tests have come back negative. By this time, if you were pregnant, the tests would almost always show positive, so you can be reassured that you are not pregnant. A delayed period can happen due to stress, changes in routine, travel, illness, thyroid or hormonal imbalance, weight changes, or even without a clear reason in some cycles. If your period doesn’t come in the next week or two, or if your cycles keep getting irregular, it’s a good idea to see a gynecologist for further evaluation, but based on your tests, pregnancy is not the cause of your delay.

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

Hello,

I understand your concern.

You are not pregnant for sure.

If you repeatedly have irregular periods, then kindly get done the following investigations - CBC, Thyroid Profile, Sr. Prolactin, Sr. LH, Sr. FSH. Ultrasound of Abdomen+Pelvis

If this is happening only this time, just repeat the Urine pregnancy test once more to be very clear and start Tab. Norethisterone 5mg, twice a day × 5 days. You’ll get your periods on the 6th/7th day and it’s safe.

Fell free to connect with me.

Regards,

Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Based on your history, repeated negative tests confirm you are not pregnant. The delay is likely due to stress or hormonal imbalance. If periods don’t come naturally in another 1–2 weeks, see a gynecologist for a short course of medicine to induce periods and further check-up. Thank you.

I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

1. Since you already did multiple urine pregnancy tests after your expected period date, all showing negative, pregnancy is very unlikely.

2. Home urine tests are usually accurate if done after 10–14 days of missed period.

3. Delay in periods can also happen due to stress, hormonal imbalance, thyroid problems, weight changes, or PCOS.

4. If periods are delayed beyond 2 weeks, you can repeat one more test or do a blood test (β hCG) for confirmation.

5. If still negative, then the reason is likely non-pregnancy related and needs gynecologist evaluation.

6. For now, don’t panic but if cycles remain irregular, get thyroid, prolactin, and pelvic scan checked to find the cause.

Pregnancy is not the reason here, but a gynecologist can help you identify and treat the exact cause of your delayed periods.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

Since you had your last period on 7th August and tested multiple times up to mid-September with all negative urine pregnancy tests, it is highly reliable that you are not pregnant. Period delay can happen due to stress, hormonal imbalance, weight changes, or lifestyle factors. Please consult a gynecologist to evaluate the cause of irregular cycles and guide you on treatment if needed.

I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.

If your last period started on August 7th and you had sex on August 25th, followed by multiple negative urine pregnancy tests on dates ranging from September 4th to 14th, it’s reasonable to conclude that you’re likely not pregnant. Home pregnancy tests are usually quite reliable when taken after a missed period, particularly when repeated multiple times over several days. Each test is designed to detect the hormone hCG present during pregnancy, and repeated negatives make pregnancy unlikely. However, delayed periods can happen for a variety of reasons beyond pregnancy. Stress, changes in weight, exercise routines, or dietary habits can disrupt your menstrual cycle. Hormonal imbalances, such as those caused by conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders, might also lead to irregular periods. If you have been experiencing significant lifestyle changes or stress recently, this might be impacting your cycle. If your period doesn’t come soon or this pattern continues, it would be wise to consult with a healthcare professional. They can run some tests to determine if there’s an underlying condition affecting your menstrual cycle. Additionally, if you are using hormonal contraception, that might also affect your cycle regularity. Keep track of any other symptoms you might be having, like pain or unusual discharge, and mention them to your doctor. In general, missing a single period isn’t typically a cause for alarm, but seeking medical advice is a good step for ongoing issues.
