Periods have heavy flow volume and less flow volume days and may usually last for 4 to 6 days. It is hard to define normalcy of number of pads per day. On total, one to seven normal sized pads or tampons per period are normal.

I'm 24 and I've been having trouble with my periods. They're always late, and sometimes I don't get them at all for a couple of months. Could you suggest an ayurvedic syrup that could help regulate them without causing any side effects? I'm really looking for something natural that could set things right.

It sounds like you might be dealing with irregular periods, which could be linked to hormonal imbalances or stress. In Ayurveda, **Ashoka** and **Lodhra** are commonly used to regulate menstrual cycles. **Kanchanar Guggul** and **Chandraprabha Vati** may also help. It's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice and dosage to ensure it's safe for you.

I have a question about my periods. After having physical relations, I took an I-pill and got my period last month, but I haven't gotten it this month. Could there be a chance of pregnancy? Can you explain in detail?
