I took an I pill twice at the end of December with a gap of 5 days. After that, I had withdrawal bleeding in the first week of January, which lasted only 5 days like normal periods. In the last week of February, I had periods again, but they were very light, not like normal periods. Now it has been 10 days and I am still having very light bleeding. Is it normal to have this type of irregular period? I did a pregnancy test and it was negative.

Taking the iPill twice in one cycle can disturb your hormonal balance. Withdrawal bleeding in January was expected after iPill this is not your actual period. In February, light or prolonged spotting is due to hormone fluctuations from the pills. Your negative pregnancy test is reassuring.

My period has been missing for the past 1 month and I have been sick for the past 2 days. I just got my blood report, and everything is normal except my ESR, which is 100 mm/h. Is this a sign of pregnancy?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am O positive and my husband is B positive. I am married for one and a half years. Before marriage I had a completely regular period cycle of 29 days. After marriage, in whichever month I had sex, my period gets delayed by 6 to 7 days. In the month in which I do not have sex, periods come in 29 to 31 days. We did not use any pills or condoms. The only method was no inside ejaculation. Now we want a baby. In September month, for the first time he ejaculated inside me. Now I have completely missed my period this October month. My last period was on 1st September. UPT is negative. Blood test HCG 0.44 mIU/ml is also negative. What is this behaviour?
