I've been dealing with irregular periods for quite a while now, and it's really unsettling not having a fixed monthly schedule. The dates are always shifting. Could you give me some guidance on why this might be happening or what I can do about it?

Irregular periods can be caused by various factors such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). I recommend consulting with a gynecologist who can evaluate your symptoms and may suggest lifestyle changes, medication, or further tests to help regulate your cycle. It's important to address this issue for your overall well-being.

I've been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks and my doctor prescribed a 100mg Methotrexate injection, which I took today around 4pm.
