I'm dealing with some menstrual issues and it's been bothering me. My last period was on February 11th, and now it's March and I'm late. I've been feeling some symptoms like lower abdominal pain and backache for the past five days, and I'm not usually late like this. I'm getting a bit worried since I don't have a history of late periods. What could be going on?

Homeopathy can be a supportive treatment for OCD, but its effectiveness varies from person to person. Some homeopathic remedies like Argentum nitricum, Arsenic album, and Pulsatilla are believed to help alleviate OCD symptoms. However, the recovery time with homeopathy can be lengthy, often taking several months to a few years. In your case, despite 5 years of homeopathic treatment, you didn't experience significant improvement, which is not uncommon. Allopathic treatments, such as SSRIs, can be more effective for OCD, as you've experienced. It's essential to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment approach for your OCD.

Question

I'm a bit concerned because it's been 42 days since my last period and I haven't gotten it yet. I'm worried I might be pregnant but I took two tests and they came back negative. I'm experiencing some symptoms like back pain, morning sickness, pelvic pain, and bloating. Could these symptoms mean I'm pregnant? When would be a good time to test again? What do you think these symptoms might indicate?

I've been dealing with irregular periods for quite a while now, and it's really unsettling not having a fixed monthly schedule. The dates are always shifting. Could you give me some guidance on why this might be happening or what I can do about it?
