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.

View allI've just realized I took Primolut for five days without knowing I was pregnant. I'm really nervous about whether this could affect my baby. Can you help me understand what to expect?
- taking Primolut (norethisterone) early in pregnancy is unlikely to harm your baby, but it's essential to stop it immediately now that you know. Please consult your OB-GYN for a detailed evaluation and guidance to ensure both your and your baby's health.

I recently took the I pill and I'm a bit worried about what to expect. How many days might my period be delayed because of taking it? Also, will this change my menstruation cycle permanently to the new dates? I'm curious and a little concerned about how this could affect my cycle.
it may delay 3 to 6 days...but it will not alter duration of cycles...if your periods are delayed further consult obg specialist to rule out pregnancy

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my doctor has prescribed me albendazole, but I'm a bit worried because the tablet says not to take it during pregnancy. Is it really safe for me to use it while pregnant?
Fever and stomach pain may indicate a gastrointestinal infection. - Loud farts and subsequent watery diarrhea without stool suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning. - The sudden change from farts to watery diarrhea may indicate a bacterial or viral infection. _Recommendations_ 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or oral rehydration solutions. 2. _Bland diet_: Continue with a bland diet, like khichdi, rice, and bananas. 3. _Rest_: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 4. _Medical attention_: If your symptoms worsen, or you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or bloody stools, seek medical attention.
