Stress can indeed affect your menstrual cycle, especially for a young woman like you. Here's what you should know:
-
Hormonal Impact: Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol, which can interfere with those regulating your menstrual cycle.
-
Irregular Periods: This disruption can lead to irregular periods, missed cycles, or changes in flow.
-
Other Factors: Besides stress, changes in weight, exercise habits, or health conditions can also affect your cycle.
-
When to See a Doctor: Consult a healthcare provider if irregular periods persist or are accompanied by severe pain or heavy bleeding.
Managing stress through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can help regulate your cycle. If you have concerns, a gynecologist can provide personalized advice and check for other causes.

View allI'm feeling a bit anxious because I was on Duphaston 10mg once a day from the 15th to the 28th day of my cycle. After that, I did a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. I even got a Beta HCG test on the 28th day, which was also negative, and another urine pregnancy test on the 32nd day, and it was negative again. Normally, my cycle is pretty regular at 27-28 days. So now Im wondering, how many days after stopping Duphaston should I expect my period to start?
After stopping Duphaston, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, as Duphaston is a progesterone medication that regulates menstrual cycles, and its withdrawal typically triggers menstruation; given your regular 27-28 day cycle, you may experience your period around 3-5 days after stopping Duphaston, but this can vary from person to person.

I've been experiencing some clear watery discharge recently, and I'm a bit concerned. I had sex about a week or two ago, and I'm wondering if this could be an early sign of pregnancy or just PMS symptoms. My period is supposed to start on April 8th. What do you think?

I've been trying to conceive for a year now with no success. I have a 3x3cm intramural fibroid could that be affecting my chances? My first IUI failed, and now my doctor is suggesting fibroid removal. Is this surgery a big procedure, and what's the best option for someone trying to get pregnant?
Yes, many patients with fibroids can get pregnant. But to improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy, it's best to discuss your goals and priorities with your doctor. If fibroids are having an impact on your quality of life, a gynecologic surgeon can discuss treatment options that can help preserve your fertility.
