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.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

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

Book Beta HCG Test Test Book TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

My wife has missed her periods. We have done two pregnancy tests, both of which were negative. We always use protection during sex. We are concerned, what could be the reason for her missed periods, and what should we do?

My last period was on February 25, and I still have not gotten my period. I did a beta HCG test on March 25, which was 0.4 (negative), and a urine pregnancy test on April 2, which was also negative. What should I do next?
