I am not married and have never had sexual intercourse, but my period has been delayed for 60 days. I consulted a doctor, who prescribed folic acid and iron tablets for 10 days. I completed the course, but my period still has not started. I do not have thyroid or hormonal problems. What could be the reason, and what should I do?

If hormones are normal, it may be due to stress, PCOS, or low weight. Do TSH, FSH, LH, and Pelvic USG. Avoid skipping meals and track cycles.

Question

I have had irregular menstruation for the last two months. I checked with a test kit on 24 oct, and the result was negative. I want to conceive a baby. Please suggest what I should do and whether I need any tests or medicines?

Question

I had my last period on 20th September. I had protected sex on 20th October. I took a home pregnancy test on 28th October, which was negative, and then a beta HCG test on 4th November, which was 0.1 mIU/ml. I still have not got my period and have no pregnancy symptoms. Is there any chance that I am pregnant? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Question

My last period lasted 12 days, and now I am 8 days late. I have taken two pregnancy tests, both negative. However, I have been vomiting 9 out of the last 11 days, and certain smells trigger nausea. My periods are usually regular, except for last month and this month. What could be causing these symptoms, and should I take another pregnancy test or see a doctor?
