I'm really confused about something. I was dealing with severe weakness and muscle pain, so I got tests done for vitamin B12 and vitamin D. My vitamin D level came back at 10, and my vitamin B12 was 176. After that, I took injections for both vitamins and started taking B12 tablets every night, plus the Uprise tablets for vitamin D every week. But after just 4 days, I got tested again, and my vitamin B12 level shot up to over 2000, while my vitamin D went up to 17. Is it normal for levels to change that quickly? What could be going on?

Delayed periods can be concerning. Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as: 1. Pregnancy 2. Hormonal imbalances 3. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 4. Thyroid issues If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe: 1. _Medroxyprogesterone acetate_ (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles. 2. _Norethisterone_ (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods. Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to: 1. Unintended side effects 2. Interactions with other medications 3. Masking underlying conditions Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.
