I'm a bit confused and worried because my new doctor didn't give me progesterone after ovulation, which my previous doctors always did. I'm doing Timed IC this cycle and just had a trigger shot, and they've asked me to have intercourse for the next five days, but without progesterone. Is it still possible to conceive if I ovulated with letrozole but wasn't given progesterone?

conception is possible both with and without progesterone supplementation, but progesterone can help support early pregnancy. Be sure to stay in touch with your doctor and continue with your treatment as planned.

I'm really worried about my sister. She's been experiencing dizziness quite frequently in the past 78 months, and it's getting more common now. We went to see a doctor and did all her blood tests, and everything is normal except her Vitamin D levels, which are lower than they should be. She's 33 years old. I'm wondering if there are any symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency other than dizziness we should be aware of?

Yes, Vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms beyond dizziness, including fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pain, mood changes (depression, anxiety), headaches, and cognitive impairment,

I'm dealing with vitamin deficienciesit looks like my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Vitamin D is at 14.92 ngml and B12 is at 202 pgml. What could these low levels mean for my health, and what steps should I take to address this? I'm a bit worried about the impact they might have on me.

I recommend taking "Drisdol" at a dosage of 50,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 800-2000 IU per day. For Vitamin B12 deficiency, I recommend taking "Cyanocobalamin" at a dosage of 1000 mcg once daily for a few weeks, followed by a maintenance dose of 100-200 mcg per day.
