My wife and I have been trying for a baby for a few months now. This month, her period lasted only half a day and it was just spots. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? We did a pregnancy test two days later, but it came out negative. Last time her period was 17 days late, but this month it was actually on time. This is the first time something like this has happened. Could there be something else going on? What's your take on this situation?

It is possible that a short and light period could be a sign of implantation bleeding, which can occur when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. However, since the pregnancy test was negative, it is less likely that this was due to pregnancy. A short and light period could be due to various reasons such as hormonal changes, stress, or changes in lifestyle. It is also possible that the menstrual cycle may vary occasionally without indicating a serious issue. If this pattern continues or if there are other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've used regestrone before to push back my periods, but I need some clarity on the right dosage. Last time, I think I was told to take one tablet a day starting three days before the period, but I'm uncertain about it. I've also read that some people take it three times a day. What's the recommended dosage for delaying periods?

To delay your periods, the recommended dosage of Regestrone (Norethisterone) is usually one tablet three times a day, starting 3 days before the expected date of your period. This regimen is typically continued until you are ready to have your period. So, the total daily dosage would be three tablets of Regestrone per day, taken at regular intervals. Remember to consult your Gynecologist before starting any new medication.

My mom has been bleeding non-stop for the past 8 days and the doctor prescribed Ovral L and methergin. Her sonography report says she has an anteverted bulky uterus measuring 12.48.36.1cm with 14.7mm endometrial thickness. There's also a 4.03.7cm intramural hypoechoic lesion and multiple small follicles in both ovaries. Is surgery the only option or can this be managed with medication?

Endometrial biopsy required. After that treatment can be decided.
