I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but it hasn't started yet. I'm feeling those usual period pains, but nothing's happening. Can you suggest some home remedies to help kickstart my period right away?

There is no reason to be concerned if your periods are due the next day. You should allow time for your normal menstrual cycle to take place. If your period is delayed by a more than 1 week, then you should visit the gynecologist for further evaluation.

I've been a bit anxious lately because back in December, I used Meprate tablets to delay my period, and I did get my period once I stopped taking them. But the thing is, now it's January, and I haven't had my period yet. I'm really wondering if this could be a side effect from the Meprate I took last month, or should I be thinking about taking a pregnancy test? What's your take on this?

u test it first

I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and my ENT doctor has put me on Hicet AX tablets to take once a day for 57 days to help with a bad cough and cold I've been dealing with. I'm feeling a bit uneasy about whether this medication is actually safe to use during pregnancy. Can you let me know if it's okay to continue taking it while I'm in my first trimester?

You can take it no problem.
