Periods delayed,Test Negative

Hello Doctor, I am 31 years old female. My last period was on 10th August, and today is 25th September, so my periods are delayed by more than one month. I have checked pregnancy test at home and it is negative. I have a history of irregular periods earlier also. At present I have no fever, no severe abdominal pain, no white discharge and no other major symptoms. I am worried about the delay. Please advise what could be the reason and what tests or treatment I should take. Thank you.

Allergic Rhinitis during Pregnancy

Hi Doctors, I just wanted to understand how allergic rhinitis is usually managed during pregnancy when a short 5-day course of an allergy tablet recommended by gynac is not providing sufficient relief. As soon as the tablet stops, it flares up. I have had allergic rhinitis for many years, even before marriage, and based on my previous experience, I know that my symptoms usually do not settle without proper treatment. This time, it is significantly affecting my day-to-day life and my ability to work and sleep. I have also been using saline nasal spray and steam regularly, but unfortunately, neither is helping at all. Whenever my symptoms flare up, I start feeling chills and lose my appetite as well, which makes it quite difficult to function normally. Could you please advise what is the usual next treatment approach doctors follow for someone with recurrent/severe allergic rhinitis during pregnancy?
