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 just a bit concerned, could you help me out? My wife just had her regular scan, and the doctor says everything seems fine. The baby is now weighing in at 3.1kg, and she's just started her 9th month of pregnancy. Back in the beginning of the 8th month, the baby was 1.7kg. Is this weight of 3.1kg okay for a normal delivery? The doc mentioned the presentation is cephalic and that the liquid level is adequate. Just want to make sure everything's on track!
