This may be an indication of a medical condition like uterine fibroids or endometriosis. I suggest you to go to a gynecologist immediately. They will diagnose and treat any conditions that are causing you to have long and heavy periods.

Hi, i got my last periods on February 28th after that i had intercouse only once on 6th of march and we use pull out method, usually i got periods 4 days earlier from the last periods which means on march 24th. Mostly but not always. I'm anxious about pregnancy. I want to avoid pregnancy. It's a month of fasting my diet sleeping pattern everything changed. What maybe the reason for delay in periods. And what should i do to get my periods immediately. I need to wait for few more days or can i use some natural contraceptive methods. Can you please suggest me.
Female | 28
Periods delay may happen due to reasons of stress, diet change, or irregular sleep patterns. If you have concern then go for a pregnancy test. I will propose you to go to a gynaecologist for the same. It is advisable to approach a specialist in case of any health condition and do not count on natural contraceptive methods since they are not fully reliable.

Taking the i-pill twice in a short span can lead to hormonal imbalances and side effects, and your symptoms may require medical evaluation. Please contact a healthcare professional as soon as possible to discuss your symptoms and concerns.

I missed 3 days of my period and on 4th day i got bleeding..i am confused that its my period or implantation bleeding. pregnancy test shows negative..
Female | 33
MISSING PERIOD followed by BLEEDING can have multiple causes.. IMPLANTATION BLEEDING occurs before a MISSED PERIOD.. NEGATIVE PREGNANCY TEST indicates it may not be IMPLANTATION BLEEDING.. Consult a DOCTOR for further evaluation of the CAUSE.

I am 44 years old, i had missed period, by 6 days, home urine pregnancy test was negative, i was sexually active, I never missed my period in my cycle, its very regular, whether it is a menopause or pregnancy a big confusion, i have symtoms of nausea, knee pain, back pain, lot of hunger. What i should do. Please advice.
Female | 44
Factors like stress, hormonal changes, or even an early sign of menopause could contribute. Symptoms such as nausea and discomfort in your knees and back may also relate to hormonal fluctuations or other non-pregnancy conditions. Since your home pregnancy test is negative, consider retesting in a few days or consulting a gynecologist for further evaluation. They can help determine the cause of your symptoms and provide guidance tailored to your needs.

Just after taking the abortion pill 3 days now and now I am bleeding and I had sex, can I take the iphil or not.
Female | 21
It’s normal to experience bleeding after taking the abortion pill, as this indicates the body is expelling the pregnancy. Engaging in sexual activity during this time may lead to discomfort or increase bleeding. It’s generally advised to wait until your body has fully recovered before considering contraceptive methods like the i-pill. For tailored advice and to ensure safe practices, I recommend consulting a gynecologist. They can provide you with personalized guidance on your situation and help address any concerns you may have.

So I have had sex twice in my life ....but at both times it was protected sex like we used condoms ......tho the second time ....it took a short time ...like i lost gas before it was that intense... But like let's after a week or two ...I had my periods..it was a heavy flow with painful cramps and it happened the usual way for me ....then the next month I missed my periods.... Ps..have always had unstable periods from the very start of experiencing them ...so missing my periods that month didn't really scare me But now this month (second month from the time I had sex) I vomited once and I think it was cause of my ulcers ...then I barely excrete.....I don't over pee unless I drink a lot .....I have always over slept even before and I still over sleep .....I have always been lazy but there's a way I feel so weak in my body and I don't know if it's cause I might be pregnant....have done several tests and its always indicating negative results... So now please help me describe what the problem with me might be
Female | 21
Heavy periods, missed periods, vomiting, and weakness are the common symptoms that can be an indication of several things, but since your tests revealed the negative, pregnancy seems to be out of the question. Hormonal imbalances, stress, or it could even be your ulcers. As a suggestion, see a gynecologist for a correct diagnosis and medication. Be sure to drink plenty of water and watch your stress levels to improve your health.

my period just ended last week and yesterday I started seeing a brown discharge mixed with blood on my pant what does it mean
Female | 18
The brown, discharged blood you are seeing right after your period is the blood of your last period that has not been completely discharged. There are occasions when the blood does not come out immediately. It is common and usually, it is not a very big deal. If you have had this kind of bleeding for a long time or suffer from pain or a stinky odor which is unusual, then it's better to have a consultation with a gynecologist to make sure everything is fine.

So actually I have irregular periods so 2 month of missed period then I got into a intercourse then I ate that ipill after that within some days i got my periods then after it is like 3 months approx but I'm not getting my period so what does it mean
Female | 20
Missing periods can have many reasons such as stress, hormonal changes, or underlying health issues. For instance, taking emergency contraception like the ipill can also affect your menstrual cycle. Should the issue of menstruation not appearing be bothering you for a long time, it is better to get in touch with a gynecologist for more information and assistance.

There could be an issue with vaginal discharge. Leukorrhea is increased discharge from hormones, infections, or irritants. Signs are changes in color, smell, itchiness, or discomfort. Wear cotton underwear, keep clean, avoid scented products near your vagina. If discharge seems abnormal or doesn't stop, get checked by a gynecologist.

My last period was on jan 2 and have been having unprotected sex since then i did a home pregnancy test and the result was one dark line at C and faint line at T also have brownish and red blood since yesterday
Female | 23
Here's what your symptoms indicate - there's a possibility you're pregnant. The test revealing one dark line and one faint line could signify early pregnancy. And that brownish, reddish blood? It might be implantation bleeding, something that can occur in those initial stages. But to know for certain, you'll need to take another pregnancy test or see a gynecologist.

My hymen is still not completely broken. Once I saw few drops of blood . But still the hymen is strong there. I had intercourse not a proper one and penis didn't enter into my vagina. But the sperms fell on my vagina and we still did 3 ,4 pushes. Will I be pregnant .
Female | 23
Even if complete insertion didn't occur, pregnancy remains a possibility since sperm can still reach the egg. Immediate symptoms might not manifest, but missed periods or breast tenderness could be early indicators. Taking a pregnancy test provides confirmation. It's important to understand that an intact hymen doesn't preclude pregnancy.

Halo doctor . I am 12 and I am a child girl .I just finished my periods and yesterday I started my spotting I don't know why my spotting is heavy and also I don't have any cramps on my periods and spotting last month my spotting is light but this month it is heavy can you plz tell me why
Female | 12
Often our periods can be dissimilar in their flow while we are adolescents and that is the normal course of things. Hormonal changes, stress, and sometimes no obvious cause behind the symptom can be a reason for heavy spotting. If you do not feel any pain, it is quite common for you to be fine and it is usually not a problem. Just be aware of your period changes, and if it gets too heavy or lasts a long time, you might want to tell an adult or visit a gynecologist for advice.

I had unprotected sex 9 days before my periods.. Is there any chance I can get pregnant
Female | 25
Yes there is chances of getting pregnant. Sperm are able to stay alive in the female body for up to five days, and if you ovulate before this period, this can greatly increase the likelihood of becoming pregnant. If you have any concern talk to a gynecologist to take the test and get more detailed advice.

Hi doctor currently I’m 5W 3 D , I check at clinic cannot the baby via TVs and ultrasound, and yesterday blood is come out and stop I check UPT still postive

Blood loss during pregnancy is not a good experience, yet it is important to keep calm. This might be a sign of a threatened miscarriage, which means that the pregnancy might be lost but not yet is the case. At times, it is difficult to notice the fetus in the ultrasound during the early stage of pregnancy. The positive pregnancy test indicates that you were indeed pregnant, however, it sometimes takes a long time to see the fetus on an ultrasound. If you're feeling anxious, it's better to talk to your gynecologist.

I want to ask about my periods
Female | 20
Menstruation is a natural process that happens when the lining of the uterus is purged every month. At the same time, though, if you have unusually heavy bleeding or cramps that make your regular activities difficult, it is advisable to see a doctor. I recommend that you see a gynecologist, who is a specialist who deals with women's reproductive health issues.

Female | 36
Irregular periods can happen sometimes. Stress, routine changes, or hormonal issues may cause delays. Pregnancy or certain health conditions could also be reasons. A home pregnancy test can help clarify things. If it's negative and your period still doesn't arrive after waiting, consulting a gynecologist would be advisable.

I am a pregnant woman with 6 months,i have went for consultations and started the medication from 5th month starting, there is no risk found by the doctors, does it mean I will get a normal delivery or is it mandatory to have the reports of first four month
Female | 22
It is entirely possible to have a natural childbirth experience even in the absence of early prenatal reports from the initial four-month period. The diagnostic assessments conducted at a later stage can frequently provide crucial insights. Maintain adherence to the guidance provided by your healthcare provider. Continue taking prescribed medications as instructed.

I'm having spotting today..I had sex with my partner..but he didn't insert his penis...the semen was spread outside..so in doubt I took ginger and papaya leaf..I'm also a hypothyroidism patient..is it a sign of pregnancy...and if so is it safe to take i-pill
Female | 20
Women may experience light spotting after sex, especially if their period is approaching. This is normal and not always a sign of pregnancy. Irregular periods can also be caused by mental health issues linked to hypothyroidism. While ginger and papaya are commonly used herbs, they are not reliable for preventing pregnancy. If you're worried about pregnancy, you can consider taking an emergency pill like the i-pill.
