Question 1

what does it mean when you get negative on the next day of your date and no period for more than a week and your cervix is high open and soft?

Accepted Answer

: Irregular menstrual periods are common. The fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone can be easily affected by stress, weight gain/loss, exercise, lack of sleep, thyroid problems, and uterine issues. If your period irregularities persist, talk to your Dr about what testing can be done to determine the cause. If you had unprotected sex another test one week after the first would confirm.

Question 5

is it normal for having period for more than 3 weeks?

Accepted Answer

No.: Prolonged menstrual periods usually indicate a hormonal imbalance. If the lining of the uterus isn't shed completely each month, it can build up and cause a prolonged period.   The source of the imbalance can be the ovaries, the thyroid gland or the pituitary gland.  Prolonged and/or heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to iron deficiency anemia.  Please get it checked out.  Dr. Anne.

Question 6

is it normal for a 46 yr old to have a period for more than 3 weeks? i have been having a medium flow for more than 3 weeks, it is starting to scare me.

Accepted Answer

A : A period lasting more than the normal 5-7 days, and ongoing bleeding is a classic sign of the onset of menopause and a change in hormone levels. Many women who are experiencing the onset of menopause will start experiencing a long lasting period.
It will be important that you let your doctor know as you are at risk for becoming anemic, dizzy and light headed, due to loss of blood.
To remedy this, you may be placed on hormone therapy (some doctors will place you one the birth control pill) to help get your hormone levels under control.

Question 7

can you have a period for more than two weeks i had my regular period at the time i was suppose to last month around the holidays like the 20th of december and then i got it again at the beginning of january i thought it was normal cause my cycle changes

Accepted Answer

This : This is called dysfunctional uterine bleeding. There are many reasons. The most common are hormonal fluctuations, uterine fibroids, and endometrial hyperplasia (thickened uterine lining); pregnancy also needs to be excluded. You should see your doctor for an evaluation and diagnostic testing as deemed necessary. You should also be screened for anemia.
Best of luck.

Question 8

is it normal to be spotting for more than a week after period ends?

Accepted Answer

It may be normal or: Spotting 1 week after you end your periods can be due to the following causes
1 old blood
it may be your body did not expel the menstrual blood properly and may be brown colour
2 birth control pills
bcp can cause hormonal imbalance and can cause bleeding or sptting anytime after the periods
3 deeper penetrationduring sexal intercourse
4 polyps
so if it persists get a check up from your gynecologis.

Question 9

could i be late for my period for more than 2 weeks during ramadan?

Accepted Answer

Yes but why?: Many things can cause an ovulatory delay, but i'm not aware that ramadan is one of them. One common reason women are late for their period is pregnancy, if this is a possibility, check a pregnancy test.

Question 10

is it possible to get a lighter period than norm more than a week after period due?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can be normal for your period to be a week late and lighter than normal but you also should be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy if you have had unprotected intercourse. Stress, medications, and illness can make your period late and lighter, however, to be safe, do a pregnancy test. Hope this helps.
