Patient's question:
Can you get pregnant if you don't have your period?Doctor's answer:
It is possible to be pregnant if you do not have your period. Normal menstruation is caused by the shedding of the functional layer of the endometrium, mixed with blood, after the corpus luteum phase ends following ovulation, leading to the withdrawal of estrogen and progesterone. Poor nutrition, metabolic disorders, chronic diseases, sudden changes in environment and climate, dietary disorders, excessive exercise, alcoholism, and medications can all cause menstrual abnormalities. Therefore, not having a period may indicate pregnancy, or it could be a symptom of menstrual irregularities.
