My last menstrual period was on 22nd August. On 27th August, my endometrial lining was measured at 16 mm. My pregnancy test is negative. I do not have polycystic ovaries, and my menstrual cycles are usually regular, but last time the period lasted only 2.5 days. What should be the next step?

If LMP was August 22, lining is 16 mm by August 27, and test is negative, it may be early or anovulatory cycle. Since your cycles are regular and no PCOS, this may be stress related. Wait a few more days or do a Serum beta hCG again. If still negative, consult a gynecologist and consider TVS follicular monitoring next cycle.

I am 38 years old and trying for my second baby. I usually ovulate late, and my gynecologist prescribed Duphaston and Ecosprin after ovulation. I have missed my period and tested on the 3rd day after my due date, but the result was negative. From the 5th day onward, I have been experiencing spotting and passing dark brown clots daily. Could I still be pregnant, and should I take another pregnancy test?

My last period was on July 25. I consulted a gynecologist on August 9, and a pregnancy test that morning was negative. Thyroid and hormone tests were normal. The doctor prescribed Gynaset for 5 days, which I completed. On September 16, I tested for pregnancy again, and the result was positive. Can this result be considered accurate? What should I do next?

After unprotected intercourse three months ago, I have had two negative urine pregnancy tests and three normal periods. But some people told me that it is possible to have periods and still be pregnant. Is this possible?
