I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but it hasn't started yet. I'm feeling those usual period pains, but nothing's happening. Can you suggest some home remedies to help kickstart my period right away?

There is no reason to be concerned if your periods are due the next day. You should allow time for your normal menstrual cycle to take place. If your period is delayed by a more than 1 week, then you should visit the gynecologist for further evaluation.

I'm 30 and have had PCOS for two years my HSG test showed blocked fallopian tubes. Besides pregnancy concerns, is surgery absolutely necessary to unblock them? Just wondering if it's something I really need to do or if there are other options

While surgery can be an option for unblocking fallopian tubes, it's not always necessary and there are other treatment approaches, especially if you're not focused on pregnancy. Your doctor will need to assess the specific cause and location of the blockage to determine the best course of action

Does follicular study show blocked fallopian tubes?

A follicular study can not determine whether the fallopian tube is blocked. If the fallopian tube is blocked, you will still ovulate. Ovulation is mainly the function of ovary.
