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.

Question

I missed my period 14 days ago. I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative. I have white discharge with no itching or irritation?

I missed my period last month, my last period was on 27th April. I have not had intercourse, nor was there any ejaculation. My partner penis touched my vagina through clothes, and he also fingered me, but he washed his hands with shampoo and water before doing so. My cycle is 35 days. I took a beta HCG test on 1st June, which was 0.10. My doctor prescribed Crina NCR 10, which I last took on Saturday. I still have not had my period. The doctor also suggested Hb, thyroid, prolactin tests, and a pelvic ultrasound. My results are: Prolactin: 90 Thyroid: 3 Hb: 8.2 Pelvic USG: right ovary adherent to uterine wall, multiple peripheral follicles in ovary, endometrium thickness 14.2 mm Can I be pregnant? After taking Crina last Saturday, my period has still not started. Please help me understand what these reports suggest.

Question

I had withdrawal bleeding last month on 21st October as I had taken two unwanted 72 pills on 11th and 14th October. After that, I consulted a doctor and she said to take a home pregnancy test and that my periods may be irregular in the coming two months. I have taken 4 home pregnancy tests with Prega News and all 4 tests were negative, but I still have not got my periods. What should I do? Please help me out.
