Hello, I am a 27 year old unmarried female. I had TB and asthma in December and completed treatment in June. I also received COVID vaccinations. Since then, I have been experiencing lighter periods that start about 5 days before my expected cycle (my cycle is 28 days). After taking ginger, jaggery, turmeric, and milk, my flow becomes normal. I am also taking vitamins and protein powder. Previously, I had no menstrual problems. My recent blood reports are: Bilirubin: 0.6 mg/dl Hemoglobin: 11.3 g/dl RBC: 4.58 million/microlitre Platelets: 325,000/cmm TLC: 7000 Serum protein: 8 g/dl ESR: 45 mm HIV: Non reactive Blood glucose: 91 mg/dl Serum IgE: 61.2 IU/ml Please suggest what could be causing these changes in my menstrual cycle.

Changes in menstrual flow could be due to nutritional deficiency or hormonal shifts post illness. ESR is slightly high. Consult a gynecologist.

My last period was on 22nd May, and I have not had any periods since then. I took several home pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. My doctor initially advised taking Evacare for 3 months, and recently recommended taking progesterone 5 mg for 5 days. What should I expect, and is this the correct approach?

I recently did a serum beta hCG test and want to understand the result. I think the test indicates a negative pregnancy result, but if I am not pregnant, what could be the reason for my missed period? My periods are usually regular, and this is the first time I have missed one.

It has been 15 days past my expected period, but I still have not gotten it. I had sex on June 26, and my period started on June 29. Since then, I have not had my period. I have taken a pregnancy test three times, and all were negative. I am not sure what is happening. Please advise what I should do.
