Article: Since a late period could indicate that you are pregnant, it might be helpful to take a pregnancy test. You can purchase reliable at-home pregnancy tests from most pharmacies and grocery stores. These tests involve urinating on the test stick and waiting a few minutes for the results to appear. At-home pregnancy tests are typically quite accurate. However, for the most accurate pregnancy tests, you should visit your doctor's office. There are many physical factors that could be delaying the onset of your menstrual cycle. If you are worried, make an appointment with your doctor so that they can run some tests to determine the cause. At the very least, your doctor will be able to rule out some of the more serious medical possibilities and offer you some peace of mind. Your doctor will run tests to determine possible medical causes of your delayed period like hormonal imbalance, thyroid issues, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In addition to preventing pregnancy, birth control pills are often used to help regulate periods. This kind of medication is quite effective at causing your body to begin the menstrual cycle at the same time each month. Remember that birth control pills aren't for everyone. If you are forgetful about taking medicine, it won't be as effective for you. If you are a smoker, there is a greater risk of stroke for those who take the pill and are over 35 years old. Other forms of contraceptives may also help regulate your period like intrauterine devices (IUDs). Ask your doctor which type is best for you based on your specific medical history, lifestyle, and personal preferences.

Article: When working with broken glass, it's important that you wear the right safety equipment to avoid being cut. Purchase a thick pair of work gloves and safety goggles online or at a hardware store and wear them while you remove and replace the broken window pane. Use a utility knife, chisel, or putty knife to scrape away the putty surrounding the broken pane. This will loosen the glass and will allow you to remove it easily. Some windows will have nails or clips that help hold the pane in place. Use a set of pliers to grab onto any nails or clips in the frame and pull them out. Wiggle the pieces of glass that are still stuck to the frame until they come loose. Once they are loose, remove the shards of glass and dispose of them. Continue doing this until there is no more glass in the frame. Smooth out the area around the broken window pane by going back and forth over any remaining putty or sealant. Once the area is smoothed out, wipe the area down with a damp rag to remove any excess particles left over from sanding.

Article: Use 1 egg yolk for every 1 cup (240mL) of liquid you need to thicken. Whisk the yolks until they are loosened. If you are using a whole egg, separate the whites from the yolk before whisking. This will temper the eggs and increase their temperature. The hot water will heat the eggs without making them too hot and causing them to cook. Your sauce should be hot when you add in the eggs. Whisk the sauce continuously while it simmers. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the pan as you stir. This will ensure that the sauce doesn't stick to the pan or burn. Do not let the sauce boil for too long. Once it reaches its boiling point, 1 minute will be plenty of time for the sauce to thicken. Since you are using raw eggs, you much check the temperature of your sauce to eliminate the possibility of bacteria. The sauce must be at least 160F (71C) before it is safe to serve.
