Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The delay in your periods with a negative pregnancy test is likely to be due to a hormonal imbalance or polycystic ovaries.
The other reasons of delayed periods may be hormonal imbalance, emotional upset, anxiety, stress, or other medical conditions that affect the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland. Hypothyroidism, post pill amennorhea , polycystic ovarian syndrome or less frequently a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels or a hypothalamic disease are other causes that may be the cause here as pregnancy is ruled out.
Please visit your gynecologist to undergo physical check up and also to undergo relevant investigations required in your case to find out the cause so that treatment can be given accordingly.
The abortion you had 2.5 years ago is not likely to cause the delay in periods you are having now. Please do not worry. You can concieve with adequate treatment.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If you stop taking pills after a long time then periods may be delayed for the first one or two cycles. This is not a worrisome problem. This can be taken care of by taking hormonal pills for a withdrawal bleeding under the guidance of your gynecologist.
Folvite only decreases the neural tube defects in the baby and is not likely to help you in conception.
Once your regular periods resume, you can try for pregnancy by having alternate day intercourse during the fertile period of your cycle.
Hope my answer is helpful.

Dear Doc, as suggested went to Gynecologist, she suggetsed me for Meprate, 3 times a day for 3 days and she asked me to visit on 2 nd day of my period. she didnt check me physically / asked for a scan. Is this the right process. Iam taking this medicine, after how many days can i expect my periods?
Please suggest on the process.
Please suggest on the process.
It is normal to have a delay in the periods after stopping the oral contraceptives. It is not necessary to go for all the detailed investigations as this has happened for the first time with you.
After stopping Meprate, you should expect your periods to begin in next 4-5 days. After the periods have started, you need to consult your gynecologist again on day 2 of the period to get an ovulation induction medicines so that your ovulation resumes normally.

Hello.
Your serum HCG levels and urine pregnancy test are suggestive of a pregnancy. Since you took Meprate only for 3 days, it is not going to affect your fetus. The meprate contains a synthetic progesterone. Natural progesterone is secreted by placenta during pregnancy. Stopping meprate might cause a mild spotting in some cases.
It is not going to show any long term effects. Please get an ultrasound scan done to detect the period of gestation. Do not worry and continue with your pregnancy.

Thank you doc a lot. its great that i heard some good news from you. So do you mean to say that baby will not born with any abnormalities right. iam really worried about as i was hearing a lot of things having these tablets if pregnancy is confimed. and i had this tablet for 3 time a day for 3 days.pls confirm. My worry is all about baby abnormal birth / growth.
This small dose of meprate is not going to affect your baby in any way. Please do not worry. No abnormal growth of the baby is expected. You can get the antenatal vitamins prescribed from your gynecologist.
Regards.

Folvite is given to prevent neural tube defects in the baby. It should be continued during first three months of pregnancy.
Duphaston is a progesterone preparation which helps to support the placental function. It decreases the chances of threatened abortion and early pregnancy bleeding.It can be continued till 8-10 weeks of gestation.
XXXXXX 35 is an oral contraceptive and is not advisable during pregnancy. You can discuss your gynecologist regarding the indication for which she has prescribed you this oral contraceptive.
You get an ultrasound scan done for the fetal well being.

Hello.
Your ultrasound report is suggestive of formation of a gestational sac only. Fetal node and fetal heart beat are usually visualised on abdominal ultrasound by 7 weeks. The medicines your gynecologist has prescribed is to help the baby to survive. These hormonal support medications wil help in sustenance of pregnancy. It is best to get a repeat ultrasound scan done after 7 weeks to confirm the fetal growth.
Avoid any heavy work and have plenty of rest till then. Dietary modifications are not going to help you much.
Till then continue with the medicines as prescribed to you.
Best regards.

There is no upper limit of the number of times of ultrasound scan during pregnancy. The scan is completely safe for you and your baby.
The danger of losing the baby is present. You need to do a bed rest and avoid travelling for two hours and sitting for a whole day.
Avoid standing and doing any physical work till a normal fetal heart beat is confirmed on ultrasound.

How many days should i have bed rest completely and how many days it may take to a normal fetal heart beat? Because i cannot bear losing a baby and i want to take as many precautions as i can to avoid this. Now as the doc / report said it is 5-6 weeks and still how many weeks it may take to fetal heart beat?
Normally in which week can we find fetal heart beat? and why is it still not found in my case? is there any idea on this?

You should take a bed rest for at least 10 days. Normal heart beat should be visible latest by 7 weeks of gestation.
You need to wait for at least 10 days to get a repeat scan done.
Sometimes, delay in conception causes a late fetal heart beat. Since you were diagnosed for pregnancy late, it is likely that the heart beat will also appear late.
To be very sure earlier, you can get your serum beta HCG levels evaluated again and if the titres are still rising then these are suggestive of a viable pregnancy.
