I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?

rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy now, it just started on May 23rd, 2021, but I havent felt any baby movements for the last couple of days. I can hear the heartbeat though. Everything was fine in the 6th month with lots of movement. Should I be worried about the reduction in movements? What might be causing this?

Hi! It's great that you're hearing the baby's heartbeat, but a decrease in movements can sometimes indicate a need for medical attention. Please visit your doctor immediately to ensure everything is okay. They might do an ultrasound or other checks for reassurance.

I'm a bit worried because I didnt really have ejaculation during intercourse, but just to be safe, I took an i-pill within 2 hours. I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, and my last period was on August 23rd with a 27-day cycle. I took the pill on September 2nd, and now my period still hasn't arrived. Ive been having period-like cramps since yesterday, but there are no periods, and Im also experiencing back pain. Could there be an issue with the pill or something else going on?

I'm a bit concerned because I had my baby girl via c-section on June 28th, and now it's been 12 weeks, but I'm experiencing this brown watery discharge. It seems to happen quite often, and I'm wondering if this is normal or something that might be hinting at an infection?
