Hello, I should get my period on January 15th, on January 17th I did beta hcg from blood, it came out 0.23. I still don't have my period, it's already day 7. Pregnancy tests come out negative, but after a while strange stripes appear on them (not on all of them). I have a cold and I'm taking antibiotics. Could it be an early pregnancy or is the delay due to antibiotics?

A beta hCG (pregnancy hormone) result of 0.23 mIU/mL suggests that you are not pregnant.
However, it is worth noting that various factors such as stress, infections, hormonal changes, as well as antibiotics can affect the regularity of the menstrual cycle. In case of doubt and amenorrhea, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Your doctor may order additional tests if needed and help you understand the reasons for the delay.
If you are concerned about this situation, it is always a good idea to consult a doctor who can give you more personalized advice. If you do not have the opportunity to take advantage of the advice, I am attaching a link to the online teleconsultation:
