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.

View allI am 30 years old and have been trying to conceive for four years without success. All my test reports are normal, so the doctor advised IUI. I did it in September but there was no positive result. My period started on 28/10. My last period was brown with little discharge for three days. Since then, I am feeling lower abdomen cramps and pain, watery discharge when I do a little more work, and sometimes burning. Please suggest any solution?

My girlfriend took a pregnancy test and got negative three times after missing her period for 2 weeks. She took Meprate for 3 days and got her period after 2 days with heavy flow for 5 days. Can she still be pregnant? Does Meprate cause periods even if you are pregnant? Please help.
