A 1.2 cm endometrioma may not shrink significantly with meds; surgery is preferred if pain or infertility is present.

I'm really worried about my cousin's situation because her amniotic fluid levels have been decreasing again. She had it at 4.6 cm at 32 weeks, then after taking the L-arginine sachets three times a day, it went up to 8.6 cm by 34 weeks. But now it's down to 4 cm again at 36 weeks. The baby's growth and blood supply looked normal in the Doppler scan. The doctor said to have another scan in 4 days. Why might the fluid be going down again, and does this mean she'll still be able to have a normal delivery?
