View allWhat's the right dose of methotrexate tablets for ectopic pregnancy if I want to skip surgery? I'm really worried and need to know how much to take safely.
Methotrexate is used to treat ectopic pregnancy in certain cases. The typical dosage is 50mg/m², but it’s crucial to follow your doctor’s guidance to avoid complications. Surgery may still be required if the medication doesn't resolve the issue.

I've missed my period this time and had unprotected sex about 12 days ago. I'm unsure if I'm pregnant, and I'm worried about what might happen if I take Unwanted Mankind abortion pills without confirming it. Could there be any side effects if I take them even if I'm not actually pregnant?
Taking abortion pills like Unwanted M without confirming pregnancy is not recommended. If you are not pregnant, these pills can still cause side effects such as nausea, bleeding, or hormonal disturbances. Please take a pregnancy test first and consult a doctor for appropriate guidance.

I've just had an ultrasound, and it shows a dominant follicle measuring 18 mm in my right ovary. I'm really worried about whether this is something serious. Is there a risk I should be aware of? What steps can I take to manage or recover from this?
A dominant follicle measuring 18mm in your right ovary is a normal finding, especially if you're in your menstrual cycle's follicular phase . This typically occurs around day 7-10 of a 28-day cycle. The dominant follicle is the largest follicle that will release an egg during ovulation. Having a dominant follicle doesn't necessarily indicate a risk. However, it's essential to monitor its growth and development to ensure it ruptures and releases an egg. If the follicle doesn't rupture, it may lead to issues like ovulation disorders or cyst formation. To support follicular growth and ovulation: - *Maintain a healthy lifestyle*: Eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress. - *Follicular monitoring*: Schedule regular ultrasound scans to track the dominant follicle's growth and development. - *Consult your doctor*: Discuss your scan results and any concerns with your gynecologist or fertility specialist. They may recommend additional tests or treatments to support ovulation and fertility.
