A sudden heavy period may be the result of normal hormonal fluctuations or a side effect of birth control. However, heavy periods can also indicate an underlying health condition. A person should talk to their doctor if they experience heavy bleeding or cramping that prevents them from completing normal activities

I'm noticing some brown discharge before my period and my period itself only lasts for a day, with more brown discharge after. I'm married, but haven't been able to have a baby yet. Should I be concerned about these symptoms, and could they be affecting my chances of conceiving?

I'm supposed to get my period tomorrow, but it hasn't started yet. I'm feeling those usual period pains, but nothing's happening. Can you suggest some home remedies to help kickstart my period right away?

There is no reason to be concerned if your periods are due the next day. You should allow time for your normal menstrual cycle to take place. If your period is delayed by a more than 1 week, then you should visit the gynecologist for further evaluation.
