What Causes Stoppage In Periods?
Hello! Had two ultrasounds recently. First showed a corpus luteum cyst on ovary, thickened uterus 11mm, somewhat bulky, anteverted uterus, but no period for six + weeks. Extremely sore nipples for a number of weeks. Nausea, vomiting. Doctor wanted another ultrasound, so went two weeks later. Two weeks later, Ultrasound showed cyst as dissapating and a fluid sac in uterus. Still no period. Could I have been pregnant and it did not take? Sac does not match appropriate dates. Why no period, still?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood the concern. The possibilities are a missed pregnancy or a pseudo pregnancy. A serum beta-hCG titre estimation will help to differentiate. A trans-vaginal sonogram should be performed for a better view if not done earlier. If pregnancy is ruled out by these tests, induction of a period may be done by use of progesterone supplements for 3-5 days. Withdrawal bleeding is usually seen 3-7 days after completion of the treatment. Hope your query has been answered. Take care.
