Hello Darmawati,



Thank you for using the HealthReplies.com service.



Normal women have regular menstrual cycles, usually 11-13 times a year, or approximately once a month, with cycles every 21-35 days, and menstruation for 3-7 days. If you have not had your period more than 35 days since your last period, then you have menstrual disorders / late.



However, irregular menstruation can be caused by many causes, and treatment for each cause is certainly different. In many cases, menstrual disorders do not require medication, but only lifestyle changes and stress management can improve the patient's menstrual patterns. In other cases, menstrual pattern disorders can only be corrected by operative measures, such as in pituitary tumors. Therefore, before taking menstrual medicine, you must first know the cause of your disease.



Some diseases or conditions that can cause menstrual cycle disorders, such as:



Stress Use of contraception Pregnancy Polycystic Syndrome Thyroid Disease Menopause Pituitary tumors In diseases that are hormonal disorders, therapeutic treatments in the form of hormonal medications can be given, but it is recommended only to be consumed on a doctor's prescription / recommendation. But in other diseases, hormonal therapy will not solve the problem, or even can cause new problems.



I advise you to check with a specialist obstetrics and gynecologist, so that a more complete examination, your condition known, and given more appropriate treatment.



What you can do now is:



Eating nutritious food Adequate rest Avoid stress Avoid alcohol and cigarettes Regular physical activity Thus, hopefully it can help. hi,
welcome to icliniq.com.
there are several factors that lead to irregular menses. weight loss or gain can also lead to irregular menses. i do not think you should worry too much about having a period after six days of finishing a normal period. in fact, your ovaries could be suppressed by birth control pills and have not returned back to normal function although you had normal menses. normally, it takes about three months for your ovaries to gain normal function after taking birth control for several years. unless you skipped 3 to 4 menses at a time i would not worry too much. hi dear! its wonderful to knw that you have started planning fr a baby, as u hv mentioned ur periods r regular yes its important to hv regular cycle but apart from that thr r a few things which needs to considered like your health- its not only the woman health but the mans health too is important for a healthy baby , you need to ensure it by sticking to a good diet, maintaining a healthy diet. there are few food which boosts fertility like milk, cheese, yogurt, fatty fish, whole grains, eggs and loads of water and cut down on coffee, alcohol, processes food. secondly intercourse- it plays major role in planning a baby, you need to get intimate on the most fertile days of yours which is at your ovulation time, which is generally 11-16 days after your first day of your last period. keep yourself happy-healthy and without stress , enjoy a healthy conjugal life to welcome a healthy baby. all the best! ivf injections are given as medications which help to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy. your gynecologist may recommend you some specific medications as per your medical health condition. the ivf injections may vary from one to two per day in an ivf cycle until and unless your gynecologist not suggest you to stop taking it. with blood pressure issues and problem periods, i'd see your pcp for a recommendation of an endocrinologist who can investigate your hormone levels. best wishes and make sure to follow up. until you see the doc, please stay well nourished and hydrated. see more... your period is a week late, but you've been cramping with two negative pregnancy tests. it may just be an aberrant cycle, which happens at times. however, to further rule out pregnancy, please see a gynecologist for a blood pregnancy test, which is more sensitive. see more... Hi.



Menstruation occurs when an egg is not fertilized by a sperm cell, so that the egg sheds and menstruation occurs. The length of menstruation itself varies from 3-7 days. From the situation you are experiencing, the blood comes out a little black and a little maybe it can be due to the rest of your menstrual blood. Sometimes menstrual periods can last longer (can last up to 10 days) and the color of menstrual blood will tend to be darker / blackish. However, this usually does not last long and does not cause other complaints, and does not require any special therapy.



If you have only had your period 1 week ago, then the possibility of pregnancy at this time is very small. Because for the occurrence of pregnancy, it is necessary to mature eggs first, while the fertile period for women only occurs about 10-14 days from the first day of the last menstruation.



But besides that, the condition you are experiencing can also be caused by other causes such as:



sexually transmitted infections, bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammation, uterine myoma, cervical cancer, therefore, if your condition continues to occur, then you should check with an obstetrician, so that the doctor can check your condition further. Maybe later additional examinations such as ultrasound or pap smear will be done if necessary.

dr. Danny hi dear... yes it's quite normal and it takes time to get regular timings.. so don't worry. happy motherhood if you had vaginal bleeding after you took the plan b (or equivalent) then treat that as you period. if you are more than 7 days late for your period, check a home pregnancy test. if you are having sex and don't want to get pregnant, you should see a doctor to get on a reliable method of birth control. i also recommend having your partner wear condoms to help prevent pregnancy and stds. see more... you may have an infection, or a problem with ovulating on time.
