My period was due on March 18, but I missed it. After waiting 7 days, I took Regestrone twice a day for 5 days. Bleeding started 3 days after stopping the pills, but the flow is very light, red in color, and not brown. I am not experiencing spotting, and my pregnancy test is negative. Why am I having such a light flow?

Light bleeding after Regestrone is common. Not all withdrawal bleeds are heavy. It does not indicate pregnancy. Repeat Beta hCG to confirm. Also check TSH, FSH, Prolactin for hormone imbalance.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a BETA HCG (TOTAL) Test or Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test

I have had irregular menstruation for the last two months. I checked with a test kit on 24 oct, and the result was negative. I want to conceive a baby. Please suggest what I should do and whether I need any tests or medicines?

My last period lasted 12 days, and now I am 8 days late. I have taken two pregnancy tests, both negative. However, I have been vomiting 9 out of the last 11 days, and certain smells trigger nausea. My periods are usually regular, except for last month and this month. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I take another pregnancy test or see a doctor?

I had a medical abortion in December 2017 and I still have not gotten my periods. I have taken a pregnancy test every month and it has been negative. What should I do and how can I get my periods back?
