Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had regular periods every month. I missed my period 10 months back and until now I have not received my period. I took two pregnancy tests a month later and both came out to be negative. I would sometimes get light cramps and discharge (clear). I want to know is this normal or is something wrong with my body? Could I still be pregnant? Please let me know I am desperate for help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If your prime concern is pregnancy alone, then you can get a serum beta hCG test done which is the gold standard and conclusive. If the hCG levels are less than 5 mIU/mL, then you are surely not pregnant and the delay of menses could be stress induced as in most women. You can then opt for a withdrawal bleed with Progesterones. The other most common causes of oligomenorrhea are PCOS, hypothyroidism, and hyperprolactinemia. So you may get a hormonal profile to get these levels checked as well and an ultrasound pelvis to rule out polycystic ovaries which are again very common in young women.
