Hi, my friend has had irregular periods for a long time, occurring once every 2 to 3 months. She consulted an allopathy doctor and all tests, including thyroid and scans, were normal. The doctor suggested it should improve after her marriage. She continues to have hair fall but no weight gain or loss. I suggested consulting an Ayurvedic doctor from Kerala. She is taking the medicines suggested by the doctor, but this time it has been 2.5 months and she has not got her period. Before that, her periods continued for 2 months, though the flow was very less. She is also worried about pregnancy, but they are not planning to have children for another 1 to 2 years. She did home pregnancy tests twice in October, once in the first week and once in the last week, after skipping her 2 month period. Just in case, the urine test was a false result. They are planning to go for a blood test. Is it possible that the home test was wrong both times, and can the blood test report be trusted?

If two urine tests were negative after missed periods, pregnancy is unlikely. Blood Beta hCG is more accurate. Irregular cycles with low flow may be hormonal. Continue Ayurvedic meds and monitor.

Take a Beta HCG Test Test

View allMy last period started on 26th July, and my cycles are irregular. I had unprotected intercourse on 15th August. For the past month, I have been feeling tired, dizzy throughout the day, and sometimes nauseous. I took a pregnancy test today, and it was negative. Could there still be a chance of pregnancy, or might these symptoms be due to something else?

Hello doctor, I had spotting, thread-like, once a day on 7, 8, and 9 DPO, then it stopped. Again, from 13 DPO, I am having brown discharge. Today, on 15 DPO, I am having a little more discharge. I am also suffering from mild to moderate back pain since 4 DPO and today I had light cramps on and off. My period is late by 4 days. I took a pregnancy test at 12 DPO but it was negative. What may be the reason for these symptoms and on and off spotting?
