Brief Answer: Not likely to be miscarriage Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day The delayed period which you got did not have blood clots and it was like a normal period flow then it's unlikely to be miscarriage. The preceding symptoms you experienced are likely to be pre-menstrual syndrome. It's quite common to have delayed periods like this occasionally. Delay in onset of periods usually leads to Pelvic congestion causing feeling of bloating. Breast symptoms of soreness is likely to be premenstrual syndrome.

Hi, I am 37 premenstrual bleeding is normal? What is it caused from? I was also seeing yellow thin substance when I squeezed my nipple, which I thought was pre milk? I haven't had a child in 13 yrs , but my husband and I have been trying four yrs. We were both checked and doctor said we are fine n could have kids. Any recommendations on something over the counter that will help us conceive?

Brief Answer: Occasionally such bleeding can be seen Detailed Answer: Hi Greetings Isolated episode of such bleeding is acceptable. Hyper prolactinemia that is excess of Prolactin hormone can also produce secretion from breast. It's not advisable to take any over the counter medication for treatment of conception related problem. The treatment will be based on your clinical profile and investigation. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha

Someone told me to try clomid or progesterone cream since doctor said I have poloyps n it will help conceiving. They said it can be bought one since I have no coverage

Brief Answer: Clomiphene citrate will be beneficial Detailed Answer: Hi In majority of countries conception related issues are not covered under health insurance. Clomid or Clomiphene citrate will definitely be helpful in inducing ovulation. Progesterone has no role in management of conception. Progesterone injection are helpful in maintainance of pregnancy. Coming to issue of polyp, it does not hamper conception. Do get back to me if you need any further assistance. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha Deepak

I saw a gyn almost two yrs ago. She ran blood tests sent me for a histerestimine test ( not sure if I spelt that right. Also sent me for an ultra sound. She told me that everything came back fine except that I have polyps and it would make it difficult to conceive. I tried conceiving four yrs n nothing. Yet had no problem conceiving my first six children. Since I had my youngest 13 yrs ago seems impossible to conceive.

Brief Answer: infertility due to polyp depends on location Detailed Answer: Hi Greetings If you and your partner have had kids, question of your fertility does not arise. Whether polyp is the culprit depends on its location. Multiple Endometrium polyps can definitely affect conception. It would be more helpful if you could provide the location and size of polyps noted. Take care Dr T Shobha Deepak
