Hi I Suffer From Irregular Periods . I Havent Had
Question: Hi I suffer from irregular periods. I havent had a period since February. For the last two days I've been seeing brown/red blood only when I wipe. To my knowledge I wasn't pregnant. Can this be my period coming on?
Brief Answer:
PCOS is a possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You can go for a brtaHCG test to check whether you are pregnant or not.
Other possible causes for delayed or irregular period is PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome). If the periods are delayed despite negative pregnancy test, an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis is required to rule out PCOS.
A thyroid function test(TFT) also be required as thyroid hormone irregularities can also cause menstrual irregularities.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
