Stress, usage of birth control pills, PCOS , are few reasons for menstrual disturbances. Imbalances in the hormonal secretion may result in period disorders as well. The primary hormones contributing to having a period three times a month include female sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Other than these, higher testosterone levels can also result in period 3 times in one month. Furthermore, anomalies in Thyroid levels may result in irregular periods as well.

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and just got my NT scan results today. I'm 29 years old and the scan showed an NT measurement of 1.7mm. Is that within the normal range? Should I be concerned about it?

Nuchal translucency (NT) scan sometimes called the early morphology scan done between 11 and 13 weeks...less than 3.5mm at 13 weeks is considered normal... So nothing to worry it's within normal range

I'm 15 and I've been dealing with a weird vaginal odor for a while now. It sometimes smells fishy and other times kind of cheesy. I also have a white discharge, but it doesn't seem to have a bad smell. It's almost like the smell is just coming from my vagina itself. I've tried home remedies like teatree oil spray and bathing in vinegar, but nothing's worked. I've not been sexually active at all, and I dont get my period regularly either. I'm really worried about what could be causing this. What should I do?
