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

The decision to have surgery depends on your individual circumstances, including symptoms, desire for pregnancy, and your doctor's recommendations.

I'm currently 21 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy, and I'm a bit concerned about my anomaly scan results. It mentioned that my cervix length is 3.14 cm. Is this normal, or should I be worried about any potential issues? Could you help me understand what this means?

I recently found out that my periods are delayed by about 8 days, so I ended up taking a beta hCG test. The results showed a really low beta hCG level, and it indicates less than 4 weeks of pregnancy with a value of 242.9 mIUml. I'm concernedis having a low hCG level at this point something that could lead to a miscarriage? I'm not sure what to think and would love to know if this is something I should be worried about.

repeat your hcg levels after 48hours see if you have increase in levels, then it is not miscarraige
