Hey, I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Orofer XT tonic for women. I've got low ferritin levels, but my hemoglobin is at 12. I came across a review that mentioned it could cause prolonged periods, and that kind of freaked me out. I don't have any symptoms at the moment. Can you help me figure out if it's okay for me to take it?

To prevent Rh incompatibility issues, administer Anti-D Immunoglobulin (Anti-D Ig) to the Rh-negative (O-) mother:
- 1st dose: 300 mcg at 28-30 weeks of gestation
- 2nd dose: 300 mcg within 72 hours of delivery (if baby is confirmed Rh-positive)
This treatment helps prevent the mother's immune system from reacting to the baby's Rh-positive blood cells.

View allI'm just wondering if taking HCG can actually help me get pregnant, or is it just to assist with the process? It's been exactly 10 days since I took it, and I'm having abdominal pain, back pain, body aches, and I'm peeing a lot more frequently. I was given HCG on the 12th day, and my doctor mentioned there's ovulation happening on both sides. Could these symptoms mean I'm pregnant?
No these symptoms are not related to pregnancy

I've been experiencing some clear watery discharge recently, and I'm a bit concerned. I had sex about a week or two ago, and I'm wondering if this could be an early sign of pregnancy or just PMS symptoms. My period is supposed to start on April 8th. What do you think?
