Could my Lower Back Pain and On-Off Periods be a Sign of Pregnancy or PCOD?
i am 21 years old female. i have been getting my periods since December, its February right now, its on and off, for 2 weeks in January i got heavy periods and since then i have been getting spotting on the pads. i met with a gyn and she gave me a medicine called norethindrone acetate, and gave me dosage accordingly, and diagnosed me with PCOD. i haven't been taking the medicine cause I'm not sure if i should. i am also afraid if it has anything to do with pregnancy, i have taken UPTs thrice and they were all negative and my last intercourse was in November. however i have extreme lower back pain and i experience tiredness. i just want answers to whether it is pregnancy given the lower back pain and the spotting for so long? if its not that then can i take the medicine prescribed and it wont be an issue and i wont have any extreme side effects.

Based on your symptoms, it is improbable that you are pregnant because you have taken three negative UPTs and your last intercourse was in November. Your period time may be different because of PCOD. That's why your gynecologist diagnosed you with PCOD. As long as you take the drug recommended by your gynecologist, norethindrone acetate, according to the dose and monitoring for adverse effects, it is ok. But, if the backaches and tiredness continue, then consult your gynecologist again

My period came before the date and since then it has lasted for ten days now, I have pains in my lower abdomen and fever, fatigue and headache since then
Female | 39
Your period coming early and lasting for a long time, along with lower abdomen pain, fever, fatigue, and headache, could be a sign of pelvic inflammatory disease. This is when the germs get into the reproductive organs. To feel better, you should drink enough water, get a good night's sleep, and take pain medications that can be bought without a prescription. It is necessary to visit a gynecologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I’m 28 years of age, I have and abortion last month the 1st and end on the 10th of last month November, after three weeks last month November, I did a pregnancy test it’s negative, this month November 7 my period want to come out but it’s stop the same day and up till now I haven’t see my period today is the 17 I don’t know what is really the problem.
Female | 28
In some cases, a person may find that their cycle does not return to the regular pattern they had before the abortion, which happened one period later. The stress of the procedure can affect your cycle. On the other hand, various hormonal altercations that occur after the abortion can cause you to experience irregular periods. Try not to worry too much. If no periods occur after more than a few weeks, you should check with a gynecologist for a suitable solution.

I am 22 years old and I get my periods twice in a month and I also have brown discharge before my periods start
Female | 22
Menstruating twice a month and experiencing brown discharge before periods might be the result of hormonal disturbances or issues related to your ovary. You may also experience cramps, mood swings, and being tired. A gynecologist is the one who will diagnose your condition and start you on the right treatment.

My menstrual period is late. I also use combination pills for last month. I take a pregnancy test it shows negative . Why my period is late
Female | 31
When you start taking combination contraceptive pills, your body may need time to adjust. This temporary phase could delay your period. Factors like stress, illness, or changes in body weight can also affect menstrual timing. If your pregnancy test is negative, it's likely just a temporary irregularity. Keep track of your cycle and consult a gynecologist if the delay continues.

Period one day ho raha h wo bhi kuch ghanto k liye
Female | 25
If your period lasts only a few hours, it might be due to several reasons. Hormonal imbalances, stress, significant weight loss or gain, and certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders can affect menstrual flow. Additionally, changes in contraception or underlying health issues can also lead to very short periods. Consulting a gynecologist is important to identify the exact cause and receive appropriate treatment.

I am 17 year old girl. I have missed my periods. I am sexually active with my partner. I have checked my pregnancy but it is negative what can I do now.
Female | 17
You have already done the pregnancy test is good but another reason for the missed period should be considered too. Stress, fluctuations in weight, hormonal imbalances, and some medical conditions can also be the causes. Write down the other symptoms that you are having and visit a gynecologist.

I'm 18years old I'm not married I had sex and I missed my periods this month and I have issues of fits please suggest me what can I do ?
Female | 18
The absence of menstruation and epileptic fits are worrisome. Fits could be linked to a neurological disorder called epilepsy. Women's cycles can also become irregular due to stress or hormonal fluctuations. I suggest you to consult a gynecologist for careful examination and appropriate treatment.

Iam 20 years old and lam a female ,l had unprotected sex on the 29th of June.I want to ask if lam pregnant. Iam really confused ?
Female | 20
If you had unprotected sex on June 29th, you could be pregnant. Pregnant women will not discharge blood. As soon as the initial symptoms appear in your body, go ahead and take a home pregnancy test. It's a quick test and the results are easy to understand. If the test results are positive, visit a gynecologist for more direction and support.

Okay. I wanted to know if it’s possible for a specific person to throwing off my ph balance and why is that. Like why would that be ? It’s only happened with him specifically and not anyone else .. why is that ? Is there something nh wrong with him ? Because I’m okay on my own it’s just that when we have sex I get a bv or a yeast infection or just feel irritated. I went to the doctor and they gave me and him medication to take and it still happens .. everytime … why ?
Female | 24
There can be factors contributing to changes in vaginal pH balance and the occurrence of vaginal infections. Sexual activity, particularly with a new partner, can sometimes disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina, leading to infections like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or yeast infections. This can happen due to the introduction of new bacteria or an alteration in the vaginal environment.

I had unprotected sex on 13april, 2024 and took ipill within 1hr. My last period date was 22march and mensuration cycle is 24days but yet not getting my periods . But yesterday also I had an unprotected sex so should I repeat ipill again? Please suggest And how many day will i get my periods
Female | 30
After taking emergency contraception like the iPill, irregular periods are typical. Potential symptoms include nausea, headaches, and menstrual cycle changes. Stress or hormone imbalances can also postpone your period. Taking another iPill immediately is inadvisable. Allow your body time to adjust. Your period should arrive within the next few weeks. If concerned, consider taking a pregnancy test.

Hey I am 21 years old woman. I am having a issue in my menstrual periods. Last i got my period on 30th Dec. 21 and i was suppose to have my periods on around 29th jan 22. Its 4th feb now and didnt have my periods. I have abdominal pain sometimes. Earlier i never had problem related to periods , i used to have my periods on the given date only. I had protected sex on 5th January, still i get tested with the kit its showing negative.
Female | 21
Hi, There are several causes for delayed periods. U first need to rule out pregnancy by taking a urine pregnancy test if it shows a single line means it’s negative. After that, u need to visit a nearby gynaecologist or a Sonologist and take transvaginal sonography of the pelvis and get your endometrial thickness checked, depending upon which the gynaecologist will give medicines to bring in periods If the urine test is positive then u need to go to the gynaecologist and she will explain you further details

If there are multitudinous follicles in your ovaries but no specific number on an ultrasound, it is difficult to diagnose it yourself. Wahin pai.

If you have concerns about potential pregnancy or irregular periods, consider taking a pregnancy test or consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Also keep in mind that unwanted 72 is not a regular form of birth control and should only be used as an emergency measure.

Female | 34
From what you said you are usually on the period for a long time, and now you have no period for a month. This in turn can be reasons such as stress, gaining or losing some weight, or hormonal imbalance, among others. Other signs to spot are mood swings and skin complaints. Be sure to lead a healthy lifestyle and talk to a gynecologist.

Hi im really stressing out My tracker said i ovulated wed I had unprotected sex thursday about 5pm Iv orderd the morning after pill what comes tomorrow Would this prevent the egg fertilising Please help me
Female | 34
Taking a morning-after pill within 72 hours can prevent it by stopping or delaying ovulation, thus sperm don’t get a chance to fertilize an egg. This should not be used for regular birth control hence more reliable methods should be considered in the future. In case of any unusual signs or worries, visit a gynecologist.

I am 16 years old girl so actually i haven't got my periods this month and its almost the end of the month.and a few time ago o saw blood there and I thought i got it but now blood is not coming..i am worried
Female | 16
Girls have a typical period when they start, but they also have some irregularities. So, what you're going through is called spotting, which is when you see a bit of blood but your period doesn't start fully. Stress, sudden weight changes, and hormonal imbalance are other common causes of this. Keep monitoring yourself and if it doesn't stop, visit a gynecologist.

Ten months without menstruation? Don't panic! Several factors like hormonal imbalances, stress, weight changes, or medical conditions may contribute. However, it's important not to ignore it. Consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. They can recommend the right treatment, whether medication or lifestyle changes.

Female | 23
It's common for periods to be irregular sometimes. Stress, changes in weight, or hormonal imbalances can be the reasons for irregularity. If you have other symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or acne, you might have a hormonal imbalance. To help regulate your period, eat good food, exercise, and reduce stress. If this continues, it's best to check in with a gynecologist.
