As per your details, that black slimy discharge could be old blood from your last period. Sometimes, you experience such discharge; typically, it's not alarming. Since your tests show normal results, major issues are unlikely. However, monitor your symptoms closely. If concerns arise, consulting a gynecologist is advisable.

Can u tell me from which test I'll get to know the result...because I done twice it show same result that is T line lighter and C line darker
Female | 26
You are referring to a home test kit. If the T line appears lighter than the C line, this may mean the result is negative. This might happen when the test is not used correctly or if it is done too soon. To confirm, repeat the test as directed. If you get the same outcome again then consider seeking advice from a gynecologist.

Missed menstruation , i have irregular periods, my last period was on February 25 , after that I didn't get period, i did pregnancy test for about 3 times and got negative but now i did again and it shows positive. What to do. I have 1 year old Baby and I don't want kids
Female | 28
Since you've received a positive pregnancy test result, it's important to consult a professional like an OB/GYN. Given your desire not to have more children at this time, they can provide information about your options, which might include continuing the pregnancy or considering alternatives like medical abortion or contraception.

i had pinkish discharge like 2 week ago and now i have creamy milky white discharge today. does this mean im pregnant? should i take a test?
Female | 30
Pinkish discharge 2 weeks ago.. now milky white.. No, not necessarily pregnant.. Take a test to confirm.. Discharge changes are common. Consult doctor for concerns. HOWEVER, if the discharge comes with a FOUL ODOR or ITCHINESS, it might be an indication of an INFECTION.. In such cases, it is advisable to see a healthcare practitioner as soon as possible.. ALWAYS prioritize your reproductive health..

I need advice. Can anyone please help me. I am a female of age 20.My weight is 32 kg and height 5'2". tried to do medical abortion. I took 1 mifepristone by swallowing. After 24 hours- 800mcg misoprostol vaginally. And 3 hours after that 400mcg misoprostol vaginally and more 400mcg misoprostol with 3 hours interval. Took total 5 doses of misoprostol like this including the first dose of 800mcg. After that my gestational sac came out in the morning while i was sitting on toilet. But i did not bleed at all. My pregnancy tissues and placenta did not pass too as i did not bleed before or after passing the sac. The embryo was inside the fluid like white colored sac. I was 12 weeks pregnant. Its now 2 days and i did not bleed still. Should i wait for my bleeding to start? I took more misoprostol doses after my sac passed to start my bleeding but did not work. Will all the pregnancy tissues will come out naturally? Will my bleeding start naturally after some days?Will my pregnancy tissues and placenta pass if i wait? a doctor told me to use 2tab Co-Amoxiclav 625mg PO bid for 1week, 2tab metronidazole 400mg PO tid for 1week. this medicines are for infection. Also, do i have risks of having retained placenta issues such as hemorrhage? Or i don’t have the risk as i didn’t bleed at all yet? Will the placenta come out when bleeding will happen naturally after waiting ? i am confused and also very worried.
Female | 20
After a medical abortion, some women experience delayed bleeding or may not bleed at all initially. Retained tissue can lead to complications, so it's important to monitor your symptoms. Since you haven't bled yet, I recommend contacting your gynecologist for further evaluation. They may perform an ultrasound to check for retained tissue. The antibiotics prescribed are to prevent infection, which is essential during this time. Trust your healthcare team to guide you through this process and ensure your health is prioritized.

The first day of my last period was 22nd December 2024, and it lasted 4 days. I was supposed to start my next period on 22nd January, 2025. However, I have not had it till today (31st Jan, 2025). I had protected sex on 12th January, in which condoms were used and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. What are the chances I might be pregnant? Should I take a test? Am I just late? History of medical conditions: I have had irregular periods, i.e., a few days late in the past, and my cycles sometimes extended to 39 days. However, this is the longest cycle, and my last two periods have been shorter than usual ( 4 days instead of my usual 5 days). I had intercourse on 12th January with a barrier (condoms) and my partner pulled out at the time of ejaculation. Previous history of current medical complaint: My periods used to be irregular, I have recently gained weight, and I suffer from facial hair growth, etc. I also have taken Plan B pills on 2 separate occasions in the last year. My longest cycle was 39 days, and periods came a couple days after the predicted date. However, this is the longest delay I've experienced in the past. Current medication details: None History of medication for the same complaint: None lab tests done: None Height, Weight Height Weight 5' 3" (160.02 cm) 167 lbs (75.75 kg)

It's understandable to feel concerned about your missed period, especially with a history of irregular cycles. While protected sex reduces the risk of pregnancy, no method is 100% effective. Given your cycle history and recent changes in your body, stress or hormonal fluctuations could contribute to this delay. I recommend taking a home pregnancy test for peace of mind. If it’s negative and your period doesn’t start soon, consider consulting a gynecologist for thorough evaluation and personalized advice.

I always have normal periods, but my last one was really light and not as everytime which was 2 weeks ago and my period usually comes 1 week earlier each month, but today i started bleeding and i wanna know what is this
Female | 18
A lighter period followed by bleeding can result from several factors, including stress, hormonal fluctuations, or changes in weight or activity levels. While occasional changes are usually not concerning, it's essential to note any other symptoms like pain or prolonged bleeding. Consider tracking your cycle and lifestyle changes. If this pattern continues or if you have concerns, please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and reassurance.

It is a normal and natural sexual activity that is common. It isn't associated with negative effects on confidence or self-esteem, nor does it affect the immune system.

Period aa jate h to pregnancy ni hoti h naa ?
Female | 23
Periods indicate that the body is not in a state of pregnancy. It’s completely normal for cycles to vary or be irregular due to various factors like stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle. Common symptoms include mood swings, fatigue, and cramps. If you are trying to conceive and have concerns about your cycle, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing stress can be helpful. However, if irregularities persist or you have other worries, it’s wise to consult a gynecologist for personalized guidance. They can provide insights and support tailored to your needs.

Hello . So I've been getting alot of dark brown discharge lately and I wonder why , it's not my period as my period is still many days away . Though I do have a tendency of holding in my pee alot , so could that maybe be the reason ? And I've also been putting some objects inside my vagina since I was horny
Female | 17
Dark brown discharge is often caused by old blood exiting the body. Bladder irritation from holding in urine too long could lead to altered discharge. Inserting objects into the vagina risks irritation and infection. To address this, make an effort to urinate regularly and avoid inserting anything. However, if the discharge persists, it's wise to consult a gynecologist for guidance.

Female | 25
No big deal if you skipped your Krimson 35 pill yesterday. Just carry on taking it as normal today. Missing one dose is generally not a major issue with this medicine. If you've missed more than one dose or notice any strange symptoms, let your gynecologist know.

What could cause a yeast infection to lead to bleeding
Female | 17
Yeast infections usually do not cause vaginal bleeding. In case you notice bleeding as well as other symptoms like itching, burning, or soreness, you should consult your gynecologist to do further evaluation. Other possible causes include other pre-existing conditions such as STIs, cervical dysplasia, or hormonal imbalance.

I have been on the combination pill for four months. Sometime in my last pack I have missed two pills, I have no idea where. I am supposed to start my first inactive pill on Thursday. I had unprotected sex on Saturday and Sunday. I did take my pills in the week leading up to the unprotected sex. I do also know that I did not miss two consecutive pills. What do I do with the two left over pills? Do I still take the inactive pills for this pack?
Female | 23
If you miss two pills in a single pack, it may lower the effectiveness of the contraceptive in protecting you from becoming pregnant. The risk will obviously be minimal since they were non-consecutive. Take the remaining ones according to the instructions and begin the inactive pills as per your diary. In case you have any strange signs such as abnormal bleeding or spotting, use extra birth control methods and consult your gynecologist for more advice.

I had last period on 22 april today is 30 may i missed my periods i tested twice with prega news the test is negative both the times why am i missing my period
Female | 25
There could be several reasons why you missed your period. For some people, it might be due to stress or changes in weight while for others it could be a result of hormonal imbalances or medical conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, you may also notice acne breakouts, increased facial hair growth, and sudden gain or loss of weight among other symptoms. A gynecologist can determine the cause if you are not pregnant after taking several tests and recommend appropriate treatment.

If your period is delayed by 2 weeks and you have had the tubes tied, it’s crucial to make sure that pregnancy did not occur. The only sure way of verifying this is to take a home pregnancy test or visit your gynecologist.

Female | 19
Being worried about late periods is normal. Periods can get delayed because of stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Pregnancy or health conditions may also be reasons. If it has only been one week since your last period and you're sexually active, take a pregnancy test. But if you're not pregnant, try not to worry. Sometimes periods come late. Eat nutritious foods, stay active, and manage your stress levels. However, if you're still concerned after a while, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist.

Experiencing irregular periods and changes in menstrual bleeding can be due to causes. It's common for periods to vary in terms of flow, color, and duration from time to time. Dark blood at the beginning of your period can be normal as well.
