I had a medical abortion in December 2017 and I still have not gotten my periods. I have taken a pregnancy test every month and it has been negative. What should I do and how can I get my periods back?

Absence of periods for this long needs thorough evaluation. Could be Ashermans syndrome (uterine lining scarring) or hormonal suppression. Get a Pelvic Ultrasound to check uterus and endometrium. Do hormone tests: TSH, FSH, Prolactin, and LH. Consult a gynecologist for further treatment like hormonal therapy or hysteroscopy.

My age is 41. I am suffering from irregular periods and I am being treated by a gynecologist. This month I missed my period. Pregnancy test is negative. USG report and Pap smear test are also negative. I have no other problem in my body. What is the reason for my missed period? Please help me. Thanks.

My period was due on March 18, but I missed it. After waiting 7 days, I took Regestrone twice a day for 5 days. Bleeding started 3 days after stopping the pills, but the flow is very light, red in color, and not brown. I am not experiencing spotting, and my pregnancy test is negative. Why am I having such a light flow?

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.
