I'm really worried because my periods are 22 days late, and I've taken three home pregnancy tests but all came back negative. I also got a thyroid test done, and that came back normal. My doctor prescribed me a 5-day course of Deviry 10mg, but I still haven't had my period. I have thalassemia minor and my hemoglobin is 8. Could my missed periods be due to low hemoglobin levels?

Both are no related,there might be some issue with your ovaries,visit Gynaecologist foe evaluation and further management

My wife has a bulgy uterus around 11.2 cm but no issues like bleeding or pain. The doctor recently removed her left ovary along with an ovarian cyst. She's had two C-sections. Should she still take medication for the bulgy uterus or are there other options we should consider?

A bulky uterus without symptoms doesn't always need treatment; monitoring or hormone therapy can help if needed, especially post-cyst removal and prior surgeries.
