Hi, my friend has had irregular periods for a long time, occurring once every 2 to 3 months. She consulted an allopathy doctor and all tests, including thyroid and scans, were normal. The doctor suggested it should improve after her marriage. She continues to have hair fall but no weight gain or loss. I suggested consulting an Ayurvedic doctor from Kerala. She is taking the medicines suggested by the doctor, but this time it has been 2.5 months and she has not got her period. Before that, her periods continued for 2 months, though the flow was very less. She is also worried about pregnancy, but they are not planning to have children for another 1 to 2 years. She did home pregnancy tests twice in October, once in the first week and once in the last week, after skipping her 2 month period. Just in case, the urine test was a false result. They are planning to go for a blood test. Is it possible that the home test was wrong both times, and can the blood test report be trusted?

If two urine tests were negative after missed periods, pregnancy is unlikely. Blood Beta hCG is more accurate. Irregular cycles with low flow may be hormonal. Continue Ayurvedic meds and monitor.

When I was pregnant, I used only medicine for abortion. After the abortion, I checked my blood report, and my abortion was complete. However, my periods have not come for the last two months.

Hai Doctor, my period has been delayed by 8 days. I am undergoing treatment for fertility problems, and since starting treatment my periods had been regular. I visited my doctor today, and she asked me to take a urine pregnancy test, which came out negative. She advised me to wait for another 5 days, saying that sometimes fertilization can be delayed. My question is: can this really happen, is it useful to wait further, and is it safe to have sex during this time?
