I took my last medication on 3rd July. After 11 days, my period has not started. I checked with a pregnancy test twice, and both were negative. What should I do next, and how many more days should I wait?

After stopping medication, periods can take up to 2 weeks to return. If your pregnancy tests are negative, it is unlikely you are pregnant. Wait for 1 more week. If periods do not start, consult your doctor for evaluation. You may need a Thyroid Profile and Pelvic Ultrasound if delays continue to rule out hormonal or PCOS related issues.

Doctor, I had swelling in my thyroid glands and was asked to do a US. The US showed a cystic nodule and I was advised to do FNAC. Please verify my biopsy results, which I have attached, and guide me. What do they indicate?

Today she had palpitations with quite a lot of sweat. She says she feels better if she does not take the prescribed tablet but she is afraid too. Please let me know what needs to be done. Attached are the last blood test reports.
