I'm a bit worried because last month I took Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I got my period right after I stopped them. But this month, my period is five days late. I'm not sure if it's a side effect of Meprate or if there's a chance I could be pregnant. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?

most common cause for missing periods is pregnancy unless ruled out. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, there will be irregularities in menstrual cycle. Consult Gynecologis

My wife had an IUI on the 20th and 21st of August, and it's been about 15 days now, but she hasn't noticed any major pregnancy signs. The only thing is she's feeling a bit dizzy in the afternoons. Could you let us know when pregnancy symptoms usually start? We're just a bit anxious.

Hello, it's not unusual for pregnancy symptoms to vary or be absent in the early days. Dizziness could be related to hormonal changes, but it's not a definitive sign. I recommend waiting a couple more days and doing a pregnancy test if her period doesnt start. Wishing you the best!

My sonogram showed a 17x16mm follicular cyst in my right ovary. Will this go away on its own or do I need surgery for it? I'm really worried about what this means for me.

please consult your gynecologist.

I'm wondering about a follicle size that's 30x30mm with a small amount of free fluid on the 16th day does that mean it's a follicle or could it be a cyst? I've been on CCQ medication, and my periods have always been regular, so I haven't had PCOD or cyst issues before. Has anyone had a similar experience and conceived successfully with these numbers?

-A 30x30mm follicle size on day 16 is quite large, but it could still be a mature follicle ready to ovulate, especially with minimal free fluid. It's unlikely to be a cyst unless it's irregular in shape or causing symptoms. Since you're on CCQ medication
