I'm dealing with something that's been bugging me and could really use some advice. I was diagnosed with minor PCOD back in July 2015. My periods were delayed back then, but they eventually started happening naturally without any medication. To be on the safe side, I went ahead with PCOD treatment, and that's when my anxiety kicked in, which I find a bit confusing. So, after about three months, my ultrasound reports came back normal, and my PCOD seems to be cured. But there's this one thingmy periods are now really scanty, only bleeding for about a day. I used to bleed for around 3 days before all this started. Some people tell me it's all in my head, probably because of high stress and my anxiety disorder. It's confusing because I feel like PCOD might be the root cause of my anxiety, but now that it's supposedly cured, I'm wondering why my periods aren't normal. Any thoughts on what's going on with me?

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My husband has been getting treatment for lymph node tuberculosis for the past 9 months, but he stopped the medication 10 days ago and seems to be better now. We've been married for a year and I've been wondering if it's okay to try to conceive during his TB treatment. Now my period's late and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. Is there a risk with his recent medication, or is it safe for us to start planning for a baby?

It's generally safe to conceive if your husband has completed treatment for lymph node TB and is cured. If he was still on medication, it might have been advisable to consult your doctor for guidance. Since your periods are delayed, take a pregnancy test to confirm, and consult your gynecologist for further advice.
