Hey, I'm thinking about using a period delay pill and I'm not sure which one I should go for or what the right dosage is. Also, how far in advance should I start taking it? I'm also a bit worried about how this might affect my next period cycle. Would love any advice you could give me.

View allI've been diagnosed with a cornual block in my right Fallopian tube and I'm really worried about it. What are my treatment options if I want to avoid surgery? Are there any medications or non-surgical procedures that could help clear the blockage?
For a cornual block in a right fallopian tube, non-surgical options like tubal cannulation, hysteroscopic surgery, and fertility treatments like IVF can be explored to avoid surgery. Tubal cannulation involves threading a catheter into the blocked tube to clear it, while hysteroscopic surgery uses a thin, lighted device inserted through the cervix to access and potentially remove the blockage. If surgical intervention is not possible or successful, fertility treatments like IVF can bypass the blocked tubes
