I'm 45 days late and I've already done a few home pregnancy tests and even a blood pregnancy test within 30 days of missing my period, all of them were negative. The doctor gave me primolutn for 5 days, 3 times a day, and said I would get my periods in the next 5 days after finishing the pills, but it's been 9 days now and still nothing. I'm feeling really tired lately, my body aches, my breasts are super tender, and I've put on some weight that's not going away, plus lots of mood swings. I felt cramps a few times before I started the pills but no period or even spotting has happened yet, and I feel like I have a UTI because I'm peeing all the time. I'm supposed to see the doctor after I finally get my period for those day 2 tests. What's going on with me? Could I actually be pregnant even though the pregnancy tests are saying no?

It is possible to have a false negative pregnancy test, especially if the test is taken too early or not done correctly. However, considering your symptoms and the medications you have been taking, it is less likely that you are pregnant. Given your history of PCOD and the symptoms you are experiencing, it is possible that your delayed period and other symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalances related to PCOD. It is also possible that the medications you have been taking, such as Primolut-N, could be affecting your menstrual cycle.

I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI. _Follicle Size_ 1. _Ideal size_: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range. 2. _Monitoring_: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI. _Endometrium Thickness_ 1. _Ideal thickness_: 6-10 mm for IUI. 2. _Current thickness_: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range. 3. _Waiting for 16th day_: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow your doctor's advice_: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness. 2. _Continue monitoring follicle growth_: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI. 3. _Discuss trigger shot options_: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation. Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!
