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 allMy mom's ultrasound report shows multiple fibroids in her uterus. Can these be treated with medication or is surgery the only option? Really confused about what to do next and worried about her health
Uterine fibroids can often be managed with medication, especially if symptoms are mild and the fibroids are not causing significant problems. Surgery is also an option, particularly if symptoms are severe or if medication isn't effective. The best approach depends on your mom's individual circumstances, including the size and location of the fibroids, her symptoms, and her desire for future pregnancies
