I have missed my periods for the first time this month and it's around 12 days but I have tested negative in home urine test and beta HCG test. Can it be still possible to get pregnant?

Hello dear,
if your periods are 12 days late and both home urine test & beta-hCG are negative, pregnancy is very unlikely.
👉Sometimes periods get delayed due to:
Stress
Hormonal imbalance
Weight changes
Thyroid issues
🍀 Repeat beta-hCG after 3–5 days if doubt persists.
🍀 If still negative, get a gyne consultation + ultrasound to find the cause.
If both home urine test and blood β-hCG are negative 12 days after a missed period, pregnancy is very unlikely.
A first-time delay can happen due to stress, hormonal fluctuation, weight change, illness, or approaching perimenopause (common around this age).
What to do next:
Wait another 1 week for periods to start
If still absent, consult a gynecologist for evaluation (USG pelvis, TSH, hormones if needed)
When to worry:
If periods remain absent for >6–8 weeks
If there is pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or other symptoms
At this point, this looks non-pregnancy related.
