Question 1

My wife missed her Ovral L pill on the 7th day after finishing the last pack. It's already the 10th day now. Is it okay for her to take it now, or should we be doing something else?

Accepted Answer

Given the symptoms and minimal free fluid in the pelvis, possible causes of severe stomach pain include:

1. Appendicitis
2. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
3. Ovarian cyst rupture
4. Gastrointestinal infection
5. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

Consult a:

1. Gastroenterologist
2. Gynecologist
3. Surgeon

Question 2

Can I still play badminton while I'm on my period? My period is already late, and now Im dealing with some back and abdominal pain. Should I be worried about playing sports with these symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can play it will not delay your periods but it might increase your back pain due to sternous activity

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

-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

I'm really confused right now. My period is two weeks late, but every pregnancy test I've taken says I'm not pregnant. I don't even have any usual pregnancy symptoms, just a missed period. What could be going on here? Should I be worried, and what should I do next?

If your period is 14 days late and pregnancy tests are negative, consider waiting a few more days and retaking the test, then if still negative, consult a gynecologist to rule out other causes of missed periods
