What does a lipid profile test represent?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have a cycle of 35 days and am not sexually active. Last year I got my USG done and it was normal and my blood report showed prolactin level of 70 so the doctor gave me Cabergoline 0.5 and then everything was okay. This month I am four days late and my vagina is dry with no secretions. I am feeling heaviness in the lower abdomen as if my period is going to come but it is late and not coming. Is dryness in the vagina at this time normal. What shall I do? I am really concerned please help asap.
