My last period was in the first week of September. I had sex the next week and took an I pill within 48 hours, after which I spotted a few drops of brown blood after five days. I missed my period in October. This month, my period started 10 days late with pink blood accompanied by a transparent sticky discharge. The blood darkened on the second day. This period began with severe lower back pain, left stomach pain, lower abdominal pain, dizziness, a racing heart at night, and nausea. I took a home pregnancy test a week ago, which was negative. I was examined physically, but the doctor was not sure about pregnancy.

Emergency pills like iPill can cause delayed or irregular periods, spotting, and hormonal symptoms. Your symptoms (pain, sticky discharge, dizziness) may be side effects or cycle disruption, not pregnancy. A negative home test after several weeks strongly rules out pregnancy. To be fully sure, do a Beta HCG blood test and pelvic ultrasound.

Hello, I am a 27 year old unmarried female. I had TB and asthma in December and completed treatment in June. I also received COVID vaccinations. Since then, I have been experiencing lighter periods that start about 5 days before my expected cycle (my cycle is 28 days). After taking ginger, jaggery, turmeric, and milk, my flow becomes normal. I am also taking vitamins and protein powder. Previously, I had no menstrual problems. My recent blood reports are: Bilirubin: 0.6 mg/dl Hemoglobin: 11.3 g/dl RBC: 4.58 million/microlitre Platelets: 325,000/cmm TLC: 7000 Serum protein: 8 g/dl ESR: 45 mm HIV: Non reactive Blood glucose: 91 mg/dl Serum IgE: 61.2 IU/ml Please suggest what could be causing these changes in my menstrual cycle.

I have not had my periods since May and I am experiencing abdominal pain that comes in waves. I have already done two pregnancy tests, and both were negative. What could be the reason for this?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My period is 10 days late. I tried a pregnancy test kit and it showed negative. I tried a beta HCG test and that was also negative. But I have symptoms like vomiting, frequent urination, tiredness, and leg pain. Could someone guide me on this?
