Periods that go on for too long can happen because of hormone issues, stress, or medical problems. Be sure to drink plenty of water and get enough rest. In this situation, it's really important to talk to a gynecologist. They can figure out what's going on and help make a plan to treat it.

I am 31 yo female, I have irregular period, got checked for pcos amd came out negative. In the past month I've been doin ovulation test daily at the same time, and since 16 days ago it started coming positive as I'm ovulating. And it's been positive for the whole 16 days, including today. I've been taking few pregnancy urine tests, one in the lab and the rest are at home, they all came back negative, no actual level on the urine lab, and I also been spotting/light bleeding last week while ovulating for about 3 days. All these three things are kinds going against each other and i don't know what to think about all of it. Me and my partner are having unprotected sex, we trying to get pregnant, but the pregnancy tests keep coming up negative. I am just very confused and don't know what to think. Thank you for your help
Female | 31
Continuous positive ovulation tests can indicate sustained luteinizing hormone levels but may not confirm pregnancy, especially with negative urine tests. Spotting during ovulation can occur and is often normal. Irregular cycles can complicate timing and hormone levels, affecting results. Since you’re trying to conceive, consider tracking your cycle closely and possibly consulting a gynecologist. They can offer further evaluation and guidance tailored to your circumstances.

25 yo female. my period was very irregular as a teenager and non existent when i had an iud from 18-22. it's been almost around 3.5 years since it was removed and I've been actively trying to conceive with my husband since. periods have been regular since iud removal... between 21-30 day cycles and 2-5 days bleeding each time. Normally, almost everything that comes out is clots. lots of blood clots, very minimal unclotted fluid ever present. Never been concerned about it, that's been my normal for as long as I can remember. this time though its different. currently cycle day 2 and not a single clot in sight. at all. so I'm looking for some advice on if that's normal, or not, or if it changing is abnormal..?
Female | 25
It is common for menstrual cycles to vary in length, especially during the first few years after you stopt birth control pills. Though the absence of clots during this period can be concerning, it is not necessarily a cause for alarm. But if you experience any other unusual symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or unusual discharge, it is advisable to visit a gynecologist.

Hi I'm sunaina. I'm 26 year old . 2 month is complete I missed my periods yesterday I did pregnancy test it's negative no pregnancy. Last year in August I did abortion also in India.

Today in this month also I got bleeding very light color pinkish I use pad after that pad is clear nothin just little bit bleeding I hope u understand my English
Female | 26
After an abortion, you may experience changes in hormone levels, which can cause this to happen. The heavy flow of light bleeding might indicate a hormonal imbalance. Stress, weight changes, and medical conditions may also influence your cycle. To get your periods in order, eat well, exercise regularly, and practice stress management to lead a healthy life. If the problem continues, it is advised to visit a gynecologist for further evaluation and guidance.

I am pregnant in 9 weeks. At my last scan, they said I have a possible hematoma with dimmensions 8/5 mm. They said it is small and nothing to worry about. Also I had no bleeding or brown discharge. So what should I do?
Female | 20
If your doctor has told you that the hematoma is small and not a cause for concern, then it is likely that they have assessed the situation carefully and do not see any immediate risks to your pregnancy.

These areas have caused concern in the form of blood clots or inner bleeding, which are quite common in the first trimester. However, it is important to consult a gynecologist for proper guidance and treatment.

I am 22 years old and it's the first time I have late periods for 14 days with little bit of yellow discharge without cramps
Female | 22
Experiencing a delay in your menstrual cycle, especially for the first time, can be concerning. A 14-day delay may result from various factors, such as stress, hormonal changes, or lifestyle modifications. The yellow discharge is usually harmless but could signify minor changes in your body. It's important to monitor your symptoms and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Consider keeping track of your cycle and any other changes you notice. If your period does not begin soon, or if you have additional symptoms, please consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and reassurance. Your health is important, and seeking guidance is a positive step.

Unwanted 72 pills ke saath 2 painkiller lene se kya hota ,aur painkiller 1year mein kitni le skte h
Female | 20
Taking 2 painkillers along with Unwanted 72 pills can increase the risk of side effects like stomach pain, nausea, or dizziness. It's important not to take too many painkillers in a year, as it can harm your liver and kidneys. Please consult a gynecologist for advice on emergency contraceptives and a general physician for painkiller usage.

I am a 30-year-old female and I have been taking the IPill for contraception. I would like to know about the potential side effects of this pill on my menstrual cycles. Could you please provide me with information on what to expect and how to manage any adverse effects?
Male | 30
Consuming the IPill can have an impact on your menstrual cycle, such as irregular periods, spottings, or changes in flow. The hormonal changes are usually the reason for these differences. This is a short-term process, and in time your cycles will normalize themselves. To tolerate any pain, the best way is to develop a daily habit and pay attention to the overall health of your life. In case you experience serious changes or you are anxious, it would be necessary to talk to a gynecologist who can offer guidance and comfort corresponding to your health.

I have been having a weird smell coming out of my vagina and an itchy feeling,,I have rashes around the vaginal area what could this be
Female | 19
A weird smell, itch, and rashes in that area might indicate a bacterial or yeast vaginal infection. Keeping the region clean and dry, wearing cotton underwear, avoiding scented products: these help fix it. Over-the-counter treatments work for fungal infections. For bacterial ones, see a gynecologist.

Female | 29
It appears like you’re having implantation bleeding. This occurs when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus which may cause some light spotting. The drug given supports the pregnancy. In case the spotting persists or becomes heavier, please inform your gynecologist.

I ovulate after 10 days of the period can I get pregnant the next day
Female | 23
I suggest that you visit a gynecologist in order to have a whole examination and management of your menstrual causes. You would ovulate 14 days before the next period, so you probably won't ovulate the next day after period. But, sometimes, sporadic cycles may indicate hormonal imbalances or some medical problems. The choice of gynecologist would be the right expert to consult for further advice.

If you are not getting your periods on time then do consult the gynecologist. This may be due to different reasons such as stress, hormonal imbalance or underlying medical conditions.

I had an unprotected sex with my partner and my period date is coming near on 1 June.....is there any chances of pregnancy
Female | 27
There is a chance of getting pregnant if you have unprotected sex around the time when your period is supposed to start. Some common early signs of pregnancy are missing a period, feeling tired, being sick to your stomach, or having tender breasts. The best thing for you to do next would be to wait until after your period is due and then take a test if it has not started yet.

I had unprotected sex 17 days ago and yesterday i had my periods what its mean am i pregnant or not?
Female | 17
There is always a small chance of pregnancy, especially if your menstrual cycle is irregular or shorter than average, the occurrence of your period is generally a good indication that you are not pregnant.

My periods came after 12 days and its been more than 6 days with heavy bleeding and no pain what should i do?
Female | 17
For 6 or more days you may have irregular and heavy periods as a symptom of some other underlying health conditions including hormonal disbalance, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or fibroids. It is imperative to consult a gynecologist for a full diagnosis and management plan.

It has been 24 days passed for sexual intercourse and even I got my periods after that is it possible to get pregnant after getting periods as there is stomach pain
Female | 21
Stomach pain after intercourse and getting your period can have different causes. Stomach pain sometimes occurs even after your period if you have an infection or there are problems with your reproductive organs. If you were involved in intercourse without protection, although the chances are not so high, you might still be pregnant despite your period. Other causes of pain include both diagnosed problems and undiagnosed physical conditions. For that matter, taking a pregnancy test or seeing your gynecologist is another option.

I am 18 year old ... I think I am pregnant my period is miss by 5-6 days above
Female | 18
Missed periods can be caused by various factors such as stress, hormonal disturbances, or even pregnancy. The typical symptoms are tiredness, nausea, or heightened breast sensitivity which are experienced by pregnant women. To confirm the pregnancy, it would be fine to conduct a home pregnancy test to make sure you are pregnant at the earliest opportunity. Going to a gynecologist for the necessary medical care and advice if the pregnancy test is positive is the best thing you can do.

I want to ask about my wifes late period problem this month
Female | 24
Periods can be delayed at times. Stress, changes in weight, or hormonal imbalances can be the reasons for it. Unanticipated pregnancy, thyroid conditions, or polycystic ovary syndrome are also likely causes of it. It is advisable to get along with a gynecologist to determine the specific cause if your wife undergoes other symptoms such as pain, nausea, or unusual bleeding.

I had my last period on 16 Jan and I had a intercourse on 8 Feb so is it possible to get pregnant
Female | 20
Yes, you can get pregnant after your last menstrual period on 16 Jan if you had an intercourse on 8 Feb, the chances of which largely depend on the timing of the ovulation and menstrual cycle regularity. If you have any worries about pregnancy or reproductive health, then please see the gynecologist for an examination and tips.

I am 1 week late for my period but the pregnancy test is negative
Female | 19
It's understandable to be concerned when your cycle is delayed, especially with a negative test result. Factors like stress, changes in weight, hormonal imbalances, or even certain medications can influence your menstrual cycle. It's also possible to experience false negatives if the test is taken too early. If your period doesn’t start soon or if you have other unusual symptoms, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. This way, you can receive personalized guidance and reassurance tailored to your situation.
