I've been taking Meprate for my periods, but I'm still experiencing scanty ones. Is this normal? Can I expect my periods to become heavier like they used to be? How long should I wait to see changes?

I'm really worried because I've been having trouble with my periods this month. They're delayed by 12 days, which hasn't happened to me in over four years. My cycle's been super regular for the last two years, almost like clockwork. Four years ago, I had PCOD and took medication for it, and then three years ago, I had issues with my endometrium thickening, but medication helped with that. These last couple of years have been normal with regular exercise and good eating habits. But this past month, I've been really stressed and haven't exercised properly, which messed with my appetite too. Now I'm just spotting and having some white discharge, but then nothing else. It keeps repeating like that, with severe body pain and mood swings, plus bloating, but still no periods. What can I do to fix this?

While the delay in your period is likely linked to stress and lifestyle changes, given your history of PCOD and endometrial issues, its best to consult with a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, focusing on stress reduction, proper nutrition, and light physical activity may help improve your symptoms.

I've been on Novelon for the last four years, and before I started taking it, I rarely had period cramps. But now, after starting it, I began to experience them, and for the last 23 months, the pain's been so bad that I've had to take painkillers. Is this due to Novelon, or are these just normal period cramps?
