Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been married for three months and have regular sex daily. I used I-pill three times after having unprotected sex since we did not plan for pregnancy. After that, we changed our minds and had unprotected sex as we planned for the baby. After marriage, I had the first period before two and a half months and the second period before two months. I had I-pill twice before the start of the first period and once before the second period. We have been having unprotected sex regularly for two months. I was feeling like my head moving during the second period. I am currently also feeling like my head is moving. I am not vomiting but just feeling like that. I checked my blood pressure, and it is showing normal. These are some queries that I have in this regard.

  1. What is the cause of feeling like moving head and vomiting?
  2. What should I do next in this regard?
  3. What is the likelihood that I am pregnant right now?
  4. How many days after getting pregnant do we feel like our head moving and vomiting?
  5. Can pregnancy now be confirmed using a testing kit? If not, then how many days should I wait before confirming pregnancy?
  6. Will you suggest any medicine for my above problem now?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Heartiest congratulations on your marriage.

Coming to your queries, there is deliberate planning for pregnancy to make it a healthy and happy pregnancy.

So here are some tips for you:

  1. Start with Folic acid and Multivitamins.
  2. Get yourself examined for thyroid and sugar.
  3. Be physically active and try to get into ideal body weight.
  4. Take a good diet.
  5. Take adequate rest.
  6. Do not take stress.
  7. My advise is to avoid taking Ipill (Progesterone tablet) very often in the future. It is an emergency contraceptive pill and should be taken in an emergency only and not very often. It is a hormone-based pill and interferes with the menstrual cycle pattern besides other side effects like headache and vomiting.

    Share the history of your last three periods before your marriage when you were not taking emergency contraceptive pills or sexually active. It will help me understand your menstrual cycle pattern and I will be able to advise you on the fertility window.

    There were very few days between your two periods, so I am worried if you were considering spotting or implantation bleeding as period.

    Tell me the amount of flow in your periods and how was it comparable to your previous periods before marriage?

    You can go for a home urine pregnancy test tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Do the urine pregnancy test with the first urine of the day for accurate results. Do not drink too much fluid before your test. Adhere to all guidelines written on the package of the pregnancy test kit.

    We can also undertake a blood hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test later after the urine pregnancy test.

    Do not worry, I am always there for you.

    Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

    God bless.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

There are some details and follow-up queries in the above matter.

The periods before marriage was on the due date. I do not remember the exact dates of the last three periods before marriage. The previous period before marriage was three and a half months back. The two periods that I had after marriage were a little heavy compared to before marriage.

I have done a urine pregnancy test twice, and it shows negative. I had vomited three to four times in the last two days and feel like vomiting always. I feel uneasy, moving head, weak, and sometimes pain in the naval area. These are some queries I have in this regard.

  1. How can I know if I am pregnant now?
  2. Which medicine will you suggest for vomiting, weakness, and moving head?
Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I request you to take a blood hCG test in any reputed lab in your neighborhood. Share the report for further management of your menstrual health and pregnancy. If the report comes negative then take pre-pregnancy counseling for a happy and healthy pregnancy. Visit a physician if your pregnancy report is negative and if you continue to feel moving head, weakness, and vomiting. Also, take time for exercise. Stay active.

Best wishes.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

God bless.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

It has been 15 days since I last consulted you. After my last period, it has been more than one month without periods.

I conducted a urine pregnancy test several times in the last two weeks, but it was negative. I had vomiting two to three times, and I feel it may be due to gastric. There was light blood discharge like clotting from the vagina two to three times. I felt pain in the lower stomach area since two days back for some time. I did a blood hCG and thyroid test yesterday, and its report is attached. There are some queries that I have in this regard.

1) What does the report say about my pregnancy status?

2) What does the report say about the thyroid problem?

3) Should I take any medicine for my thyroid?

4) Is there still any chance I might be pregnant?

5) Will you suggest any medicine for getting period now?

6) What should I do to have pregnancy?

7) Is there a need for any other treatment or further diagnosis?

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

From the attached reports (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity),

  1. You are not pregnant.
  2. Thyroid report is fine. As T3 and T4 in normal range.
  3. As you had taken Ipill three times before, it affects your ovulation, resulting in irregular periods.
  4. Wait for a week for spontaneous periods.

If you do not get periods in another week, go for ultrasound (endometrial thickness and ovaries to rule out any cysts).

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

It has been one week since I last consulted, and I have not gotten my periods.

I had a similar incident of not having periods for 45 days before marriage. That happened one year ago, and I consulted a doctor. The doctor suggested an ultrasound, and everything was fine then. The doctor gave me five days of medicine for periods. The doctor also said the problem is due to hormonal imbalance. So I took medication for 21 days daily till periods and started again after five days of periods. That medicine was continued for three months. After taking all those above medicines, my periods were regular till marriage.

I have lost that prescription for the above medicines as suggested by an earlier doctor. So these are some queries that I have in this regard.

  1. What medicine will you suggest in this case?
  2. Can you suggest any medicine to get my periods?
  3. What is the medical term used to describe the hormonal imbalance problem for which I was taking medicine?
Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Irregular period is a common problem. There are multiple medicines available, but it will be better if we can get an ultrasound done as requested. Do you have the earlier ultrasound report? In addition, there are regular 21-days active pills and 7-day inactive pills, which help to regularize periods.

Also, after four to five days, some pills can lead to periods in most cases. If you have the ultrasound report, you can share it before I prescribe medicines to address the problem holistically.

I hope you will appreciate that.

Feel free to ask any questions or to share any additional information.

God bless.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have finally done the ultrasound, and its report with the doctor's prescription is attached. So these are some queries that I have in this regard.

  1. What does my ultrasound report say?
  2. How serious is my problem currently?
  3. Which kind of treatment will you suggest in this case?
  4. Can fibroids be cured by taking medicine?
  5. Should I take the medicines Valest 2 mg and Regestrone 5 mg as the doctor gave? If yes, please mention its dosage and how long to continue?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  1. Your ultrasound scan (attachments removed to protect patient's privacy) shows multiple fibroids in the uterus and also polycystic ovaries.
  2. Your uterus lining is thin; that is why there are no periods.
  3. Fibroids are benign muscular tumors in the uterus, so the size of the uterus is also increased. These can result in abortion and preterm delivery if conception occurs.
  4. Polycystic ovaries mean multiple small size cysts in ovaries, so there is hormone imbalance and hampered ovulation.
  5. You can undergo laparoscopic removal of fibroids or trial of oral medicine treatment, as any way you should avoid surgery during the pandemic.
  6. Fibroids cannot be entirely cured by oral medicines, although there might be decrease in size. During this medicine course, pregnancy is avoided. Also, recurrence is there.
  7. As your endometrium (uterus lining) is thin, so this course is for your periods to occur.

Take care.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I want to take medicine to treat all the problems like fibroids, polycystic ovaries, and thin uterus lining. So I hope you can suggest some medication and further treatment.

It has been four days since I am taking Valest and Regestrone. I had a low fever of 99 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday and today, for which I took Paracetamol. These are some queries I need your help.

  1. Which medicines should I take to treat PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), thin endometrium, and fibroid?
  2. What should be the dosage and duration of the above medicines?
  3. Whether the low-grade fever is due to the current medicines I am taking or due to fibroids?
  4. How will I know that the medicines I am going to take are working against the above problems?
  5. Is there any food or natural remedy to cure the problems?
  6. When should I do the next ultrasound?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Answered by Dr. Reetika

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  1. For PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and thin endometrium, a three-month course of oral contraceptive pills can be given to regularize your periods and balance your hormones.
  2. But oral contraceptive pills will not treat fibroids. Surgical management is best for them.
  3. The duration of oral contraceptive pills is for three to six months.
  4. The low grade fever is not due to fibroids or medicines.
  5. I suggest an ultrasound at the end of the tablet course.
  6. There is no natural remedy.

You should consult an infertility specialist in person.

With problems of PCOS, thin endometrium, and multiple fibroids, you may face difficulties in conceiving.

They can chalk out a plan for you, keeping the conception part in mind.

Take care.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
