Pregnancy - #20911

When considering the possibility of pregnancy, it’s important to note that home pregnancy tests are generally reliable, but they’re not foolproof. Following a missed period, sometimes hormone levels may not have reached detectable levels at the time of testing. However, given you received a negative test result and you’re more than 8 weeks late, pregnancy might be unlikely. Your symptoms like mild back pain, mild cramping and white, milk-like vaginal discharge may indicate something other than pregnancy. Stress, hormonal imbalances, or disruptions in your daily routine can lead to delayed periods. Sometimes, excessive travel and exposure to heat can affect the body, but these typically won't delay menstruation for long time like two months. Your hemoglobin level at 11.2 is slightly on the lower end, which might not directly link to menstrual cycle issues but ensures you maintain a well-balanced diet rich in iron, to support healthy bodily functions. Consider increasing intake of foods like spinach, lentils or beetroot to help with this. Given your situation, it might be worthwhile to explore underlying Ayurvedic reasons. Dosha imbalances, particularly in the Vata dosha, often contribute to irregularity in periods. Consider incorporating warm, easy-to-digest meals, and focus on a diet that pacifies Vata such as cooked vegetables, warm milk, ghee, and sweet fruits. Practicing gentle yoga, pranayama and keeping a stress-free routine could help in balancing these. The vaginal discharge is typically non-worrisome, but ensure it doesn’t accompany a strong odor or cause itching. In that case, it would be wise to consult a healthcare provider. If your period doesn’t resume or other symptoms appear, I'd recommend visiting a gynecologist for further evaluation. They may provide more insight or consider testing to rule out any other gynecological conditions that could be at play. It's best not to delay if further symptoms develop or if the lack of menstruation continues.
