I did my IUI on December 25th, 2020, and I'm currently taking Duphaston. Today I'm feeling some abdominal cramping, kind of like period cramps. What should I do?

Abdominal cramping is a common finding in patients who are taking duphaston. It is however advisable to consult your gynecologist for further evaluation.

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Can you help me understand if it's okay to drink water before getting a non-fasting blood sugar test? I'm also wondering if it's necessary to wait a full 2 hours, or is an hour and a half sufficient before getting it checked?

For a non-fasting blood sugar test, you can drink water, but avoid eating anything for at least 1-2 hours before the test; however, if you've had a meal, waiting for 2 hours is ideal, but 1.5 hours may also be acceptable, consult with your healthcare provider or lab technician for specific guidance.

I'm really worried because I've been taking methimez 20mg, as prescribed for my hyperthyroidism, but now I've been dealing with hypothyroidism for a year. Should I still be taking the same dose, or is there an adjustment needed? I'm feeling confused and concerned about whether I'm on the right track with my treatment.
