I've been trying to get pregnant for the last 5 months and even saw a doctor back in April. All my blood tests came back normal, and I've been taking folic acid cor3 and amycordial syrup for a couple of months now. My period was 3 days late this time, and I really thought I might be pregnant, but then I noticed a brown discharge in the morning with some white clots. The blood flow seems really thick. I'm just wondering what could be going on and if there's anything I should be doing differently?

Sometimes even in normal individuals due to action of anticoagulants in the body during heavy menstrual bleeding clots can be seen.....apart from this clots and discharge can be seen in certain uterine abnormality like fibroids in uterus,adenomyosis, endometriosis or hormonal imbalance like thyroid hormone imbalance or oestrogen-progestrone imbalance might also be a cause.this things need investigations like transvaginal ultrasound to ruleout the uterine abnormality. Hormone profile to ruleout any imbalance and most of the times the condition is treatable. So kindly consult a gynecologist for further management to ruleout this things.

I have a 3.5cm ovarian cyst in my left ovary can it go away on its own without surgery? What are some natural ways to shrink it or manage the symptoms?

Yes, a 3.5 cm ovarian cyst is usually functional and can often go away on its own, especially if you're premenopausal. To manage symptoms naturally, you can try applying warm compresses for pain relief, maintain a healthy diet, and consider regular exercise. However, regular follow-up with ultrasound is important to monitor its size and rule out complications.
