  1. Uterine Fibroids and Menstrual Changes:

    • Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that often cause heavy or prolonged periods.
    • It is uncommon for fibroids to cause periods to stop completely (amenorrhea).
  2. Possible Causes for Stopped Periods:

    • Consider other causes like hormonal imbalances, stress, pregnancy, or other medical conditions.
    • Large fibroids might affect the uterine lining or blood flow, but complete cessation is unusual.
  3. Recommended Action:

    • Consult a gynecologist for evaluation, which may include ultrasound and hormone tests.
    • A healthcare provider can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.

I'm about to hit 10 weeks pregnant in a couple of days and I'm really curious if it's safe for me to take Benadryl or any kind of allergy medicine right now.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and Silybon 70 (Milk Thistle) can be taken with food to improve absorption. Take UDCA with breakfast and dinner, as prescribed by your doctor. Typical dosage: 1-2 capsulestablets (250-500 mg) 2-3 times a day. For Silybon 70, take 1 capsule (70 mg) 2-3 times a day with meals. Follow your doctor's specific instructions for dosage and timing. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period and my boyfriend ejaculated a little inside me. I took an emergency contraceptive (Unwanted 72) within 6 hours after that. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting pregnant. Can you tell me what are the chances of pregnancy in this situation? Also, if I'm not pregnant, when should I expect my next period?

You can expect some changes in your menstrual cycle after taking Unwanted 72. Your period may come earlier or later than usual, and it may be heavier or lighter than normal. It is difficult to predict the exact timing of your next period, but it is common for women to experience a delay of a few days to a week. To help ease your concerns, you can take a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.
