I had minor PCOD in the past, but my reports came back normal in January. My cycles have always been regular, even during the PCOD phase, and I have never missed a period. However, my periods are usually light. I am wondering if this is normal. In June, I got my period on the 4th, in July, on the 6th, in August, on the 3rd, and now in September, it started on the 1st. Although it is regular, the pattern does not seem normal to me. The bleeding is light and only lasts about two and a half days, whereas earlier it used to last for three days. Could this be due to anxiety or something else? What should I do? Thank you.

Slight variation in period dates and lighter bleeding can be normal, especially post PCOD. Stress or hormonal shifts, like anxiety, can contribute. No need to worry if cycles are regular.

I am 10 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. My report shows low lying posterior placenta with lower pole covering internal os and short cervix too. What does this mean? Should I be worried? What precautions should I take? I already had 2 miscarriages in the past due to an incompetent cervix. Please help.

Hi, I am recently pregnant again after a miscarriage in May. I am being overly cautious with this pregnancy, so I requested a blood test for my beta HCG and progesterone levels. The first test showed beta HCG 89 and progesterone 3.6. The second test revealed my beta HCG was 195, so it more than doubled, which is good, but my progesterone is still pending. I am concerned because I truly believe low progesterone caused my previous miscarriage. The doctor did not seem too concerned. Should I be worried?
