I've been dealing with PCOD and I'm a bit worried. My doctor initially put me on Diane 35, and while I was on it, my periods were regular. After stopping, I had one more regular cycle, but now I've missed two months. My doctor has prescribed duphaston 10mg for five days to try and trigger a period, and then Im supposed to go back on Diane 35 for another three months. Is this a normal plan? Should I be concerned about the missing periods or the medication? Just trying to figure out if this makes sense.

try to loose weight and maintain healthy life style to get regular periods and recomending not to use more than 6 months continusly

I'm really worried about my wife since she's pregnant and has been getting fevers almost every fourth day. Our gynecologist suggested giving her MIKACIN 250MG INJECTION. Is this safe for her or the baby?

I'm really confused and worried after my sister took a pregnancy test on the doctor's advice because she missed her period. The test showed a very faint pink line on the control line and a prominent pink line on the test line. Does this mean the test is positive or negative? Also, she took the i-pill within 24 hours of having unprotected contact. Can you help me understand what this all means?

Test is positive , do another time for confirmation
