I have not had sex, but I am late for my period. Why?
Hi doctor,
I had sex last month after ovulation because I track it on my app and I am pretty regular. But this month, I have not had sex at all. I worked out twice, and each time when I worked out, I had spotting. Now, I am due for a period, and I am late. Why am I late? The first episode of spotting lasted for about four days and the second episode for two days. I recently had a cold. I am just confused because I have not had sex since last month. But, last month I had heavy periods and passed blood clots that are larger than a quarter.

Both my ovaries are slightly bulky. When can I conceive?
Hello doctor,
I was suffering from delayed periods from the last three months. Every time my periods get delayed by 10 or more days. So, I visited a doctor, who suggested USG and blood test. In USG, it shows both ovaries are mildly bulky in size. Right ovary is 3.5 x 2.3 x 1.8 and volume is 7.8 cc. The left ovary is 3.4 x 2.4 x 1.8 and volume is 7.7 cc. There is a chance of PCOD. Then she told me to get a blood test on day two of the periods. The results are TSH 3.57, FSH 5.46, and LH 4.42. This month, my periods were on time. Is there any problem? When can I conceive? Please help.

I had four I-pills in a span of two weeks and my periods are delayed. Any advice?
Hello doctor,
My husband is away from the past one and half years due to his work. I visited him for 15 days. I had my normal periods there on the 31st of last month. Since I got a bit anxious about getting pregnant, I had four I-pills in these two weeks for protection. I then returned back on the 15th of this month. I had very scanty periods between the 24th to the 28th. And that is it. I had no periods after that until today. I have checked for pregnancy four times and it always showed negative. I do not have any pregnancy symptoms as well. I am leading a normal life. At times, I feel some cramps in the lower part of my stomach. I have already visited my doctor. She suggested I take Regestrone 5 mg, two tablets a day for five days. But, I still did not get my periods.
Kindly advice me for the same.

Having pain in left ovary, and it increases during exercise. Is it ovarian cancer?
Hi doctor,
I am a 33 years old female, and I have had three c-sections and normal regular periods. My menstrual cycle three months back was short and lighter, and I ovulated about a week early. I noticed some pain, which almost reminded me of implantation pain. This continued on and off with pain and twinges. I thought maybe I was in early stages of pregnancy. Then I started having pelvic pain and lower left ovary area pain, which continued throughout the week. When I would push to have a bowel movement it hurts. I really thought I was pregnant. The fullness and achiness reminded me of early pregnancy. My most recent period was three days late. I went in and saw my OB yesterday. He did an exam and a transvaginal ultrasound, and he said everything looked fine. He tried to recreate the pain by touching some spots. Ever since then, my ovary pain on the left has been through the roof. What is going on? I am terrified I have ovarian cancer. Would he have been able to tell yesterday? What else could be going on? It hurts right around the ovary area and in the groin crease area.

I have not had D and C after my miscarriage. Will this affect my future pregnancy?
Hello doctor,
I had a miscarriage a month back, and since then, I have not been able to get pregnant since. Do you think I need to schedule a checkup with my primary doctor since I did not have a D and C?
