I'm 21 years old and stand 5'1". I've heard about speed height capsules and ashwagandha powder. Are there any medicines or supplements out there that can actually help in increasing height? I'm really curious if these options work or if there are others I should consider.

Delayed periods can be concerning.
Before considering any medication, consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying causes, such as:
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal imbalances
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid issues
If your doctor recommends inducing periods, they may prescribe:
- Medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera): A progesterone hormone to regulate menstrual cycles.
- Norethisterone (Primolut-N): A synthetic progesterone to induce periods.
Avoid self-medicating, as this can lead to:
- Unintended side effects
- Interactions with other medications
- Masking underlying conditions
Consult your gynecologist for personalized guidance and treatment.

Empty Sac with Delayed Yolk Sac Development: Next Steps_ Given the initial empty sac at 8 weeks and the subsequent appearance of a 3.5mm yolk sac, the situation is uncertain. A yolk sac size of 3.5mm is smaller than expected for an 8-week pregnancy. _Possible Scenarios:_ 1. _Delayed embryonic development_: The embryo might be developing slower than expected. 2. _Miscarriage or failed pregnancy_: Unfortunately, this is also a possible outcome. _Recommended Actions:_ 1. _Wait for a few more days_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 7-10 days to reassess the pregnancy. 2. _Monitor hCG levels_: Track your human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels to ensure they're rising appropriately. 3. _Prepare for possible outcomes_: Understand that the pregnancy may not be viable, and be prepared for that possibility. Please consult your gynaecologist
