I just had a baby 5 months ago through surgery at a government hospital and I want to breastfeed for 6 months. Can I get a medical certificate to extend my leave? I have my baby's birth certificate but not sure how the process works for getting the certificate. Can you explain what I need to do?

I'm a bit worried because I got my last period on July 23rd, but I still haven't gotten it again. I took a urine test, but it came back negative. I've started taking Cyclenorm E and P, 6 tablets per day for the past 2 days. How long does it usually take for periods to start after this?
your period may occur within 3-7 days. This can vary depending on your individual response to the medication. However, if your periods do not start within this time frame or if you experience any side effects, it is important to consult with your doctor.

I'm really trying to understand what's happening with my body. My period is now 5 days late, and I've taken a home pregnancy test twice, but both times it was negative. I've noticed some white vaginal discharge and it sometimes burns. I'm also feeling really tired all the time, have some lower back pain, and I'm just generally frustrated. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
Given your symptoms, consider taking a blood pregnancy test (beta hCG) for more accurate results, and consult your gynecologist to rule out other conditions, such as yeast infections (causing discharge and burning), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other hormonal imbalances, which may be contributing to your fatigue, back pain, and frustration, and also discuss fertility options and potential underlying causes for delayed conception.
