I'm dealing with PCOD and have been trying to conceive for a few months now. I had an HSG scan that mentioned uterine synchiea, and I've done tests for TB which came back negative. I recently had an abdomen scan on Friday, August 7th, and got an HCG injection on August 10th. We tried until August 14th. What are the chances of becoming pregnant?

I've been dealing with some thyroid issues and I'm finding it really hard to swallow food and water. It's been pretty concerningcould there be a connection between my thyroid and this swallowing trouble? What should I do about it?
You may be experiencing symptoms of an enlarged thyroid gland, also known as a goiter. In this case, you can try taking Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage prescribed by your doctor to help regulate your thyroid function and reduce the size of the goiter. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) at a standard dosage to help reduce any inflammation that may be contributing to your difficulty swallowing. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
