View allI'm 45 days late and I've already done a few home pregnancy tests and even a blood pregnancy test within 30 days of missing my period, all of them were negative. The doctor gave me primolutn for 5 days, 3 times a day, and said I would get my periods in the next 5 days after finishing the pills, but it's been 9 days now and still nothing. I'm feeling really tired lately, my body aches, my breasts are super tender, and I've put on some weight that's not going away, plus lots of mood swings. I felt cramps a few times before I started the pills but no period or even spotting has happened yet, and I feel like I have a UTI because I'm peeing all the time. I'm supposed to see the doctor after I finally get my period for those day 2 tests. What's going on with me? Could I actually be pregnant even though the pregnancy tests are saying no?
It is possible to have a false negative pregnancy test, especially if the test is taken too early or not done correctly. However, considering your symptoms and the medications you have been taking, it is less likely that you are pregnant. Given your history of PCOD and the symptoms you are experiencing, it is possible that your delayed period and other symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalances related to PCOD. It is also possible that the medications you have been taking, such as Primolut-N, could be affecting your menstrual cycle.

My mom has been having really bad stomach pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Her hemoglobin is low at 7.8 gm, and the sonography showed a bulky uterus. What could be causing these symptoms? Can this be treated with medication or does she need surgery?
Your mom's symptoms, including heavy bleeding, low hemoglobin, and a bulky uterus, suggest conditions like fibroids or adenomyosis. These can often cause anemia and severe pain. Initial treatment may include medications to control bleeding and raise hemoglobin, but surgery like hysterectomy might be needed if symptoms persist or worsen. A gynecologist should evaluate her further.
