You're 13 days post-IUI and experiencing various symptoms. _Common Symptoms with Progesterone_ 1. _Headache_: A possible side effect of progesterone. 2. _Leg pains and back pain_: Could be related to progesterone or hormonal changes. 3. _Mouth watering_: Not a typical symptom, but hormonal fluctuations might contribute. 4. _Period-like pain_: Could be a sign of implantation or hormonal changes. _Pregnancy Test Timing_ 1. _Wait until your period is due_: Take a pregnancy test on the day your period is expected or a day later for more accurate results. 2. _Avoid early testing_: Testing too early can lead to false negatives or inaccurate results. _What to Do_ 1. _Continue progesterone medication_: Finish the prescribed course as directed by your doctor. 2. _Stay hydrated and manage symptoms_: Drink plenty of water, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers for headaches and body aches. 3. _Schedule a follow-up appointment_: Visit your doctor after your period is due for a pregnancy test and further guidance.

Question

For how long can we rely on the CT coronary angio results? My mom is 65, diabetic, and had one done in February 2020it all looked pretty normal back then, no plaque in the main artery and a calcium score of zero. Her recent ECG also came back normal and she's not having any symptoms, but we've found that she has mild pulmonary hypertension with a systolic pressure of 34 mmHg on a 2D echo. She's not taking any blood thinners right now. Do you think we should consider repeating the CT angio?

Question

I've been dealing with anxiety disorder and was on Ciplar LA 20 for that. My pulse used to be around 55. The doctor recently switched me to Ciplar LA 10, and now my pulse rate is up to 90. I'm wondering if that's something to be worried about? My blood pressure is 12080 and my SpO2 is at 98%. Any thoughts on what this might mean?

Question

I've been noticing this tingling sensation on the left side below my chest and sometimes at my back. It's not constant but usually happens when I'm lying down and occasionally when I'm sitting. I checked my blood pressure, which was 12381, and when I'm relaxed my pulse rate is around 60, but sometimes it drops to 55. Do you think this is something to be concerned about?
