Brief Answer:
Get urine tested

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

You are right . You will get periods only when you stop susten.

Frequent urination is likely to be due to Urinary tract infection ( UTI).

Please get urine tested to kow if there is UTI so that you can start on tablets.

Let me know if you have anymore concerns.

Regards
