I've been dealing with PCOD and I'm a bit worried. My doctor initially put me on Diane 35, and while I was on it, my periods were regular. After stopping, I had one more regular cycle, but now I've missed two months. My doctor has prescribed duphaston 10mg for five days to try and trigger a period, and then Im supposed to go back on Diane 35 for another three months. Is this a normal plan? Should I be concerned about the missing periods or the medication? Just trying to figure out if this makes sense.

I'm 19 and not married. I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant and I'm wondering if I can have a surgical abortion without needing my parents' permission. Would a doctor be able to help me with this?

In India, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act of 1971 allows for abortion up to 20 weeks, but for minors (below 18), parental consent is required; however, as you're 19, you can legally undergo a surgical abortion at 10 weeks without parental consent; consult a gynecologist
