Hey, I've been diagnosed with PCOS and my ob-gyn recommended I take Althea pills. I'm a bit worried thoughwhat happens if I get my period before finishing the 21 days of pills? Should I stop for 7 days and then continue with the remaining pills? I'm just a little confused about how to handle this.

If you get your period before completing the 21 days of Althea pills, continue taking the pills as prescribed until you finish the full 21 days. There's no need to stop the pills for 7 days; just complete the pack and start the next one on time. Always check with your doctor for personalized advice.

Continue Taking Pills: Do not stop the Althea pills early. Complete the 21-day course even if you experience bleeding.
-
7-Day Break: After finishing the 21 days, take the 7-day break as advised. This allows for withdrawal bleeding.
-
Monitor Bleeding: If bleeding is heavy or unusual, contact your doctor for advice.

Follow Doctor’s Instructions: Always adhere to your OB-GYN’s specific guidance.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and recently my blood pressure was at 10060. My local doctor prescribed me Nicardia Retard 10mg, and I took it every morning for about 18 days. After that, I started experiencing some issues like heart palpitations, more sweating, and even fainting, so I decided to stop taking it. I'm really worried now. Could these side effects have any impact on my baby, both while I'm still pregnant and after the birth?
Yes stop taking thta medcine and visit your doctor for appropriate management

I'm in my first trimester and I'm really worried about stretch marks. I've heard about bio oil helping with them, but I'm unsure if it's safe to use right now. Can you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use bio oil at this stage in my pregnancy?
Yes, you can use Bio-Oil for stretch marks during pregnancy. It is safe to use and can help improve the appearance of stretch marks. Apply Bio-Oil twice daily in a circular motion until fully absorbed.
