In what way can gestational diabetes hurt a baby?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

View allIs it okay to have sex during the early stages of pregnancy? Could it cause a miscarriage or bring on my period? I'm also curious about whether it's safe if I'm planning to get pregnant soon.

I'm usually pretty regular with my menstrual cycle, like 30 to 32 days. But this month, I'm 18 days late, and I'm not sure why. I've done both urine and blood pregnancy tests, and they're negative. I'm not stressed or on any meds, so I'm really confused about what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this? What should I do next?
Given your regular 30-32 day menstrual cycle and negative pregnancy tests, the missed period could be due to various factors, such as hormonal imbalance, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid issues, or other underlying medical conditions; other potential causes include weight changes, travel, or environmental factors; consider consulting a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation

I'm a little worried because for the past 23 months, my periods havent been normal. There's only a tiny bit of bleeding, not the usual red blood, and it only lasts for a couple of days. Plus, I'm not experiencing the stomach aches that I used to get. Could this be related to PCOD or something to do with infertility?
Irregular periods, light bleeding, and reduced stomach cramps can be symptoms of various conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD). These hormonal disorders can disrupt ovulation, leading to irregular periods, infertility, and other symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and weight gain. Other possible causes include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or stress. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if you're concerned about infertility or other related health issues.
