I'm 16 and I know there's still time for growth, but I've noticed a lot of girls my age have developed breasts and I haven't yet. My mom started developing hers when she was 15. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal to have a delay in breast development?

I've been married for a year and a half and have been trying to conceive for the past nine months with treatment. I'm dealing with PCOD and I'm wondering if it's actually possible to conceive naturally with this condition. Any insights would really help me.

PCOD can make it more difficult to conceive, but it is still possible. Your doctor may prescribe you metformin to help regulate your menstrual cycle and ovulation. In addition, you may be prescribed clomiphene citrate to stimulate ovulation. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations for dosage and timing.
