Question

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?

-VIt's generally safe to stop the HCG injection if your doctor advises it, as the body can maintain pregnancy on its own. However, it's always good to follow your doctor's advice closely to avoid any hormonal imbalances.
