Hi mummies,
a friend of mine had missed periods for two cycles. However the pregnancy tests are negative. Is this common?
Should I drag her to a gynae? Also, is there a good female gynae around bukit timah/clementi area?

I presume that she doesn't have a history of missed periods? Has she been through any stress, illness, weight loss recently? All these could trigger disruptions in the cycle. If she doesn't feel pregnant, I guess she can just wait a while more. If you want to be safe, then I guess a scan will answer the question definitively. Can't help you about gynaes.

Thanks! No, she seems fine. In fact she thought she might be pregnant at first.

The same thing happen to me recently. I missed 3 cycle !
Visited a normal GP and was prescribed with 5 days medication. Menses came 2 days after completing the medication.

How old is your friend? Could she be experiencing the onset of menopause?

Ksme,
She is in her mid thirties, so still a little early for menopause.
Kitty,
Oh we didn't know that GP can have an answer to this! Thanks! I will let her know!
Thanks again everyone!
