Why is my gestation age different from LMP?
Why is my LMP gestation is 38 weeks 4 days and gestation age by BPD /FL is 34 weeks

Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 23rd May '24
The Last Menstrual Period (LMP) calculates gestation from the start of your last period, while gestational age by Biparietal Diameter (BPD) or Femur Length (FL) measures the baby's size. The difference in weeks might be due to variations in fetal growth rates. Your obstetrician can provide more insight and guidance based on these measurements. It's always best to consult them for a clearer understanding of your pregnancy progress.

Can i take i pill in month 2 , 3 time ? Can i
Female | 19
The I pill is a type of emergency contraceptive that is only supposed to be used when necessary. Taking it often can lead to menstrual cycle issues, therefore, causing irregular bleeding, and hormonal imbalance. Regarding emergency contraception, the use of regular birth control methods should be the first option. If you often need emergency contraception, it may be best to consult a gynecologist about more effective long-term options.

I am 22 and pregnant I would like to know how long I am now I did a test on the 3rd September and i was 3 weeks + how long i am now?..and also when would I be able to know the gander of my child
Female | 22
It was revealed that you are about 7 weeks pregnant from the test you did on 3rd September 3rd. Ultrasound might sometimes help tell the baby's gender between 16 and 20 weeks. You may experience some symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. Make sure that you are taking prenatal vitamins and go to a gynecologist for regular check-ups along with your healthy pregnancy journey.

Female | 28
I understand you have a problem with your Copper T. It is a frequent thing to have some discomfort like pain or heavy periods with Copper T. This can happen as a result of the Copper T being a foreign object inside your body. Consequently, you need to check up with your gynecologist to solve this.

I’m 42 and I haven’t had a period in 3 months and the 3 before were lighter shorter but very crampy . 12 months ago I was having heavier, longer and more painful periods. I had an ultrasound, an internal ultrasound and a Pap test which all showed everything is normal. Recently I saw an OB GYN. I asked if I could be perimenopausal. She asked if I get hot flashes and when I said no she basically brushed off the question. I don’t get hot flashes and know that not always a symptom. I do have more facial hair, mood swings, sleep problems, night sweats and obviously irregular periods. She did a biopsy of my uterine lining. She did not ask if there was any possibility that I could be pregnant first. I am most likely not as my boyfriend has retrograde ejaculation and does not ejaculate when he orgasm. Her solution was to put in an IUD which I have not had done as of yet the appointment to do so is coming up. I understand that IUDs can lessen painful heavy periods that can occur before menopause. But as I am not having periods or any signs of a period would there be any benefit to this? I have heard many horror stories of IUDs and I’m just trying to make a good decision.
Female | 42
According to your symptoms, you are most likely having perimenopause. Women are told that menopause is only certain and official after 12 consecutive months without menstruating. It is suggested that you have a discussion with a gynecologist in regard to your symptoms and worries. They can make the decision for you whether an IUD will be suitable for you

Kya every day white discharge normal hai
Female | 22
Yes it is normal and it is the natural capability to do the cleaning and to lubricate the vagina. Yet, if the association includes itching, a bad smell or an unusual color, this may be an indication of infection. In the cases where similar symptoms are observed, it would be advisable to go for a gynecologist

I am 19 year old female and I had unprotected sex on 27 April for the first time and within 45 min I took the unwanted 72 tablet...my periods are delayed about 3 days....when will my periods come ???
Female | 19
Sometimes taking emergency contraceptive pills like Unwanted 72 can make your period come late, this is normal. Anxiety and stress also play a role in postponing periods. Give your period a week or more, it should show up.

A few days ago I was intimate with my girlfriend but now her periods have been delayed by 2 days, I am worried whether she is pregnant or not.
Female | 22
The reason for delayed periods may be other than pregnancy, for example, mental disturbances, body being with travel and some hospital procedures, hormone disorders, or other reasons. You can always consult a gynecologist for further details.

my daughter is 13 year old she is having her periods very earlier or long days after her due date what should i do?
Female | 13
Irregular periods are common in teens due to hormonal changes. If your daughter starts her periods early or late, it’s likely part of this process. Symptoms like mood swings, headaches, or acne may occur. Encourage a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management. If the issue continues, consult a gynecologist for further advice.

Plz tell me my discharge is offwhite like lotion come in vagina if discharge If applied on the finger, then it is stucking it and it is ending by putting it on the finger that discharge absorb in skin of finger .its night fall discharge ya normal vaginal discharge ???
Female | 22
It sounds like you are experiencing a normal vaginal discharge, which can often appear off-white and lotion-like. This type of discharge is usually a result of hormonal changes and is typically harmless. It’s important to note that vaginal secretions can vary throughout the menstrual cycle. If this discharge is accompanied by unusual symptoms, such as a strong odor, itching, or discomfort, it may indicate an infection. In such cases, I recommend consulting a gynecologist for proper evaluation and advice.

Why is there brown stains in my underwear when I am clean and don’t have a period
Female | 17
Brown stains in the underwear when not menstruating are spotting. Several reasons exist: hormones shifting, ovulation occurring, stress levels rising. Spotting is typically harmless. However, if spotting persists or other symptoms manifest, consulting a gynecologist provides reassurance.

After 45days of no periods, I had my USG that suggested PCOD with both ovaries bulky then I started on Deviry, after consulting a doctor. 2days prior to the start of medication I was involved in a protected sex for once. Now it's been 4days since last dose of Deviry, but still no periods. Is there any possibility that I might get pregnant? Please do reply
Female | 30
After taking deviry tablet to get periods you have to give at least 12to 15days for withdrawal bleed. As you had protected sex just once chances of pregnancy is less.

I am a 23 year old female struggling with irregular periods for the last 4 years. I finally recently started getting testting done. An ultrasound revealed several cysts on both ovaries. I had blood work done to check for PCOS. My OB/GYN is on night shift and can't see me. My testosterone was normal. SHBG was high. DHEA Sulfate was low. Trying to find out what these results mean.
Female | 23
Irregular periods, acne, excess hair growth: these are common symptoms of PCOS. High SHBG and low DHEA sulfate levels signal PCOS. Don't worry - treatments exist to help. Birth control pills can manage symptoms, as can lifestyle changes involving diet and exercise. However, see your gynecologist for a full diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. They'll provide guidance and support. With proper care, PCOS is manageable.

I am a 21 year old female, I have had painless squishy lumps on my vulva for 7 years. It worries me and I don't want cancer.
Female | 21
A soft painless lump that you have observed may be one of the sebaceous cysts which are the benign growths or other non-cancerous conditions that you might have. The most common causes are blocked follicles or skin conditions. Although these swellings are generally not dangerous, it's important to seek medical advice from a gynecologist.

Female | 30
Missing your period for two days is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. But if you are sexually active and have missed your period, taking a pregnancy test is a good idea. Otherwise consult with a gynecologist or obstetrician for further evaluation and guidance on how to proceed.

i have been experiencing discomfort, itching and yellow/white discharge in my vagina
Female | 18
A vaginal yeast infection may be causing your discomfort. Itching and yellow or white discharge are common symptoms. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories can help relieve symptoms. Loose clothes and cotton underwear allow better airflow to the area. If symptoms persist, see a gynecologist for further guidance.

BPD (Biparietal Diameter) 34, HC (Head Circumference) 34, and FL (Femur Length) 31 are ultrasound measurements that help assess fetal growth. It’s important to consult a gynecologist or obstetrician for a detailed evaluation and to ensure that the baby's development is on track.
