I'm a bit worried because my girlfriend was expecting her period yesterday, but it hasn't come yet. She recently lost her virginity, and we're wondering if that could be the reason why it's late. Could this be affecting her cycle, or should we be concerned about something else?

Yes, it is possible for periods to be delayed after losing virginity due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. However, it is important to rule out pregnancy as well. If pregnancy is a concern, I recommend taking a pregnancy test. If the test is negative and the delay continues, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone (Provera) under the guidance of a healthcare provider to induce menstruation.

I'm really worried about something that happened last night. My wife and I got into an argument, and out of frustration, she took 21 Femilon contraceptive pills all at once. Her period is supposed to start on April 8th, and she has PCOS. We're actually trying to conceive and were focusing on her fertility period. Could this overdose affect her health or the possibility of her conceiving? She was also taking Evacure pills. I'm kinda lost about what to do next.

My USG report shows a bulky anteverted uterus with a thick midline endometrium of 10.1mm and well-apposed. The length is 8.71cm and width 4.70cm. I also have PCOD. I'm really worried does this mean I'll struggle to have a baby or need surgery? I'm only 21 and scared about what this means for my fertility.
