I'm in a situation where I have a retained product and I'm wondering if it's okay to just wait for it to pass naturally. I haven't had any cramps, fever, or bad-smelling discharge, only some light brown bleeding. Should I consider a surgical method instead, or is it safe to let it resolve on its own?

What retained products are you taking about?? Retained placental bits or abortion.. It has to be removed, some times they get expelled but if not it causes sepsis and shock like condition..

I'm really worried because my periods are 22 days late, and I've taken three home pregnancy tests but all came back negative. I also got a thyroid test done, and that came back normal. My doctor prescribed me a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, but I still haven't had my period. I have thalassemia minor and my hemoglobin is 8. Could my missed periods be due to low hemoglobin levels?

Both are no related,there might be some issue with your ovaries,visit Gynaecologist foe evaluation and further management
