I've been dealing with PCOD and haven't had my period for three months. Now I've got my period, but it's really heavy and I'm experiencing a lot of stomach pain. I'm stuck at home due to the lockdown and can't see a doctor for the next couple of days. Do you think this is normal, and is there anything I can do to manage the pain or bleeding until I can get to a doctor? I'm really worried.

I'm really worried and need my period to start right away. Is there any medicine you can suggest that might make it happen within a day?

Consult with a Gynecologist to get a prescription. Commonly used medication include Medroxyprogesterone acetate to induce a withdrawal bleed and start your period. Taking medication without the guidance of a medical officer can have serious side effects.

Did I miscarry or is it my period?

You know how long and heavy your typical period is. During a miscarriage, bleeding gets heavier and lasts longer than a period. As your cervix starts to dilate, cramping may become more painful than typical period cramping.
