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?

Light bleeding after Regestrone is common. Not all withdrawal bleeds are heavy. It does not indicate pregnancy. Repeat Beta hCG to confirm. Also check TSH, FSH, Prolactin for hormone imbalance.

Take a Beta HCG Test Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

Question

Hi, I usually have irregular periods, sometimes as infrequent as once in 15 days. I consulted a doctor, who examined my reports and mentioned an initial stage of PCOD, prescribing medication for 2 months. After taking the medicines, my periods were normal. My first period after marriage was normal, but now the same problem has returned. I have taken a pregnancy test, and it is negative.

Question

My last period was on 5th August, but I did not get my period by 5th Sept. I visited a doctor, and she prescribed Prevent N tablet for 3 days, but my period did not start by 9th Sept, so I did a serum hCG test, which came back as less than 1.20 mIU/mL. Even today, I still have not had my period. What should I do next?

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?
