Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

There are many reasons why periods get missed like stress, lifestyle changes etc. If you think it is because of pregnancy, I suggest you to visit a gynecologist and get some pregnancy tests done to confirm it.

I am 28 year female .i have some pregnancy related issues today doctor said beta hcg is very low after 14 days of confirmation and last period missed

Female | 28

If your beta hCG levels are low after 14 days of confirming you’re pregnant or after missing your period, this could be a problem. Some signs might be spotting, cramping, or not feeling as pregnant (sore breasts). An ectopic pregnancy or early miscarriage could cause the level of hCG to drop too much. Make sure to see your doctor again so they can check and tell you what next steps need to be taken.

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.

Question for OBGYN or anyone in women’s health: I am 25F and have been using the Evra estrogen+progesterone patch (Canadian version) since February 2023 (almost 3 years) due to abnormally heavy periods leading to anemia. It has essentially stopped my period. For the last year only, since April, my “periods” (or breakthrough bleeding) have become more regular, occurring every 3 months or so. I usually will remove the patch when it starts to allow myself to shed any excess lining. But more recently I have been shedding extremely thick clots of coagulated blood/lining, multiple times an hour, each clot about the size of the palm of my hand. This coupled with EXTREMELY heavy bleeding. I use the largest and thickest available overnight pads throughout the day and night, and each one is soaked through in about an hour, along with 2-3 large jelly-like clots sitting on top of the pad which I have to pick up manually and dispose of in the toilet. I can feel the clots passing most often when moving from sitting to standing, as it is accompanied by a wave of abdominal pain and then the uncomfortable sensation of passing a large mass of tissue. I went to the ER the first time this started happening as I was worried about the blood loss. They instructed me to take iron supplements (which I already do) and told me it was normal on the patch - but it isn’t typical for me. It’s been impossible to find a doctor available nearby so I was hoping to get some more insight into why this is suddenly starting to happen, and whether it’s safe for me to continue on the Evra patch. Thank you so much for any help.

Female | 25

Some breakthrough bleeding can be normal on the patch, the sudden increase in clot size and frequency is definitely concerning. It's important to rule out any underlying issues causing this. In fact, such heavy bleeding and clotting could be due to changes in your hormonal balance or even conditions like fibroids. I recommend seeking a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, continue taking your iron supplements and consider using a menstrual cup for better monitoring.

My periods date was on may 13 and i got a sexual intercourse on may 5. Is there is any chance of pregnancy here?

Female | 22

The possibility of pregnancy depends on the timing of sexual intercourse in relation to your menstrual cycle. Sperm can survive for several days, so conception is possible if you ovulated earlier than expected or have a shorter cycle. If you're concerned take a home pregnancy test after your missed period.

Female | 39

Recurrent vaginitis is encountered with different reasons, including infections by E. coli or Staph.Coagulase. The use of ESBL in antibiotics is a limiting factor in their effectiveness. In case you face this problem, my suggestion is to go see a gynecologist, who can do all the necessary tests and prescribe medications accordingly.

I am still flowing heavily for 3 months after giving birth. Is it normal? Every time I have sex the flow is heavier and worse

Female | 21

Has your period lasted beyond 3 months after childbirth? That's unusual and could signal postpartum hemorrhage, which involves heavy bleeding and spotting after intimacy. It might be due to a retained placenta or infection. Please visit a gynecologist for proper assessment and care.

Female | 33

Sometimes stress or sudden changes in a routine may lead to late periods. It is good that you are 100% sure of not being pregnant. Yoga stretching, drinking enough water, and eating a balanced diet might come in handy in inducing your period. The period is late, and if it doesn't work out, it is better to consult a gynecologist for some medications.

Missed my periods. I'm not sure what's the reason but it maybe because I'm sexually active but I did take precautions. My late first day of period was on 5feb and today it is 23 march I'm still not having my period. I take urine pregency test many time and everytime it's negative.

Female | 25

Missing your period can be worrisome, especially if you've been intimate. Anxiety, weight fluctuations, or hormonal imbalances might cause delayed cycles. Negative pregnancy tests suggest it's likely, not pregnancy-related. Consulting a gynecologist is advisable to investigate potential causes.

Female | 22

Your period was delayed after you took Unwanted 72. This happens sometimes with those pills. They affect the menstrual cycle. A pregnancy test might show negative at first. Stress also impacts periods. Wait a bit more. Eat properly and relax. If you don't get your period still, visit a gynecologist.

Showing anger frequently and crying frequently might be signals of postpartum depression. Most women who have recently become mothers face great stress. The truth is that this can be difficult sometimes. Due to hormonal changes and lack of sleep, it can also trigger depression. You must speak with a friend or therapist that you can trust about what is bugging you.

These symptoms may potentially signify other underlying conditions, such as pregnancy or bleeding, but none of the tests showed a positive pregnancy.

I am 24 years old female. I am two weeks pregnant. I just started bleeding, i can’t go to a medical professional any time soon. What should i do and why is this happening

Female | 24

Blood loss throughout an early pregnancy might have a few causes such as implantation, hormone shifts, and small issues, to name a few. It is well for IUDers to keep an eye on the flow and any symptoms like severe cramps or dizziness. Letting you rest instead of doing anything stressful can be more helpful. Even though the majority of the cases can be solved without intervention, it is advisable to receive a gynecologist's advice as soon as possible.

Female | 41

Periods can be irregular, and that's perfectly normal. Before a trip, having a late period may seem alarming. However, stress, routine changes, or hormone imbalances could cause delays. To try encouraging your period, consider light exercise like walking, drinking ginger or parsley tea, and staying hydrated. If your period remains irregular or you have concerns, consult your gynecologist.
