In cases of cryptic pregnancy, can women still have periods?

There is always a chance of pregnancy as long as the individual: has ovulated. had sexual intercourse without using any form of contraception during that time (your fertile period). What is the best way to test for pregnancy? The best way to determine if you are pregnant is to test your urine with a simple urine pregnancy test kit. If it is positive then it would be a good idea to see your gynecologist who can then determine your gestation and to exclude ectopic pregnancies and multiple pregnancies by performing a pelvic ultrasound scan.

Hormonal imbalance is a common cause and is usually female hormone related. This may be the onset of menopause especially if a woman has not had a period for 1 year and is between the ages of 45 to 55 years old. If a woman is under the age of 45 and has not had a period for 1 year, female hormone tests can be performed to confirm premature menopause as a possible cause. Other hormones may be involved too and this may involve thyroid hormones and also prolactin. A raised prolactin level can lead to: absent menses, milky secretions from the breast, headaches and even tunnel vision.
