What Causes Missed Period, Sore Breasts And Swollen Ankles?

pregnancy test after a werk
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
There is no need to do pregnancy test again and again.
Just relax and wait for your periods which will most likely come in a week from now as it is just due to PCOD most probably.
But in case you still don't get them then repeat the test after a week and if that test is also negative then you will need to go to the GP for prescription for progesterone which will be needed for withdrawal of periods.
This deranged period pattern is all because of PCOD and in case it recurrs in subsequent cycles then you might need additional medicine on daily basis viz metformin to help in conception.
Right now just wait for your periods for a week.
All the best.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha

But in case you are bothered a lot then take a note of following points -
- take less water after 7 pm in evening
- decrease salt intake as much as possible

Nil chances of pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
No the chances of pregnancy are meagre and most likely you are not pregnant and this irregularity in your periods is all due to PCOD.
You need full work up after periods now to know your fertility potential.
In case you have had any tests so far kindly upload the reports so that I can advice you accordingly.
I basically practice infertility so I can guide you in future in case you have any questions about it you can contact me directly on http://bit.ly/drmanishajain


Simple precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
That is indeed a good thing and I hope that you get pregnant soon and deliver a healthy baby.
But still get your thyroid hormone levels and prolactin levels checked once so that in case there is a problem it can be tackled at an early stage.
Also try some lifestyle modifications like -
- start exercise like brisk walking or gyming if possible
- drink a lot of water
- take good amount of fruits and salads
- take walnuts and soya proteins daily
- avoid any kind of stress whether domestic or professional at all times.
Wish you all the best
