View allI've been having delayed periods, and my last one was on February 6th. I took a pregnancy test on March 19th, and it came back negative. My doctor suggested taking Cyclenorm E and P for two days, three times a day, which I started on March 20th. But its now March 24th, and I still havent gotten my period. There's just a little spotting. I'm kind of worried. What should I do about this?

Does everyone bleed the first time?
Not always. Some women will bleed after having sex for the first time, while others won't. Both are perfectly normal.

I'm 34 now and will be 35 when I give birth. I just had my 20-week anomaly scan and two soft markers showed up: Echogenic Intracardiac Focus and Bilateral Renal Pelvis measuring 4.1mm and 3.5mm. I went for a fetal echo and thankfully they didnt find any other issues. I also did the NIPT and it came back low risk. Im kinda worried and want to understand more about the Bilateral Renal Pelvis. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?
Echogenic Intracardiac Focus (EIF): Likely a benign finding, not a concern especially with the normal fetal echo and low-risk NIPT. Bilateral Renal Pelvis Dilatation: Mild dilation (4.1mm and 3.5mm) is usually not a major concern and often resolves after birth. Continue with your routine prenatal care and follow-up ultrasounds if recommended by your doctor. Given the low-risk NIPT result and the absence of other abnormalities, the pregnancy seems to be progressing normally. If youre feeling uncertain, dont hesitate to discuss these findings with your healthcare provider
