Q: I am 24 yrs and got married in December 2001. My dates are not fixed and I always get late by some days. In the early months of my marriage I got my cycle after 8-10 days of my previous date but after six months, I started being late by approximately 3-4 days. In the month of July it was 24, in August 30 and next should be maximum by 7 or 8 Oct. But today is 17 Oct. and I have not yet begun my periods. What it can be, could you please tell me in detail? What should I do? Please tell me if Velocit pregnancy test kit is accurate for testing pregnancy ?

A:Yes, Velocit is pretty much ok as a pregnancy test kit. There are many reasons for delayed periods-do let me know the reports of your hormonal assays, and ultrasound for me to guide you and I hope you are not missing a period because you are pregnant.
