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.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I took misoprostol after getting advice from a gynecologist, and now it's the third day, and I'm still experiencing irregular bleeding. I was 6 weeks pregnant when I took the abortion pill. Is this kind of bleeding normal, or should I be worried?
After taking misoprostol for a medical abortion at 6 weeks of pregnancy, it is normal to experience irregular bleeding for up to 1-2 weeks. If the bleeding is heavy or persists beyond 2 weeks, please consult your gynecologist. You can take ibuprofen for pain relief and consider using sanitary pads instead of tampons to reduce the risk of infection.

I'm really worried about my 23-year-old wife. She's in her 31st week of pregnancy, and her hemoglobin level is at 9.3. Earlier, her doctor had her on Lupiheme twice daily, but now she's switched to RicherCR and recommended two Revofer injections with NS as IV. I'm concerned if the Revofer injections are safe during pregnancy. We noticed her hemoglobin didn't really go up with just the tablets. Should we go ahead with the injections, or is there hope her levels might increase with the tablets? Can you help us out with some guidance?
Given your wife's low hemoglobin level (9.3) at 31 weeks pregnant, the doctor's recommendation to administer two Revofer (iron sucrose) injections with Normal Saline (NS) as IV is a common practice to rapidly increase iron levels; Revofer is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it's essential to monitor for potential side effects, such as allergic reactions or hypotension; since oral iron supplements (Lupiheme and RicherCR) haven't significantly increased her hemoglobin levels, IV iron may be necessary to prevent maternal and fetal complications associated with iron deficiency anemia.
