I'm 18 and 165 cm, and I'm really hoping to grow taller. I've been doing a lot of exercises but haven't noticed any changes yet. Has my growth stopped, or might I still see some improvement over time? Can any supplements or calcium pills help with this? Please let me know.

PCOS Treatment: Ovral G and HCG Shot
Ovral G:
- Hormonal regulation: Ovral G contains estrogen and progestin, which help regulate hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS.
- Inducing menstruation: Ovral G is often prescribed to induce menstruation in women with PCOS who experience irregular periods.
- Preparing the uterus: The medication helps prepare the uterus for a potential pregnancy by thickening the uterine lining.
Why take Ovral G at the same time every day:
- Maintaining hormonal balance: Taking Ovral G at the same time daily helps maintain a consistent hormonal balance in the body.
- Regulating menstrual cycle: Consistent timing helps regulate the menstrual cycle and induce menstruation.
HCG Shot and Duphaston:
- Ovulation induction: The HCG shot (10,000 IU) was likely administered to induce ovulation.
- Luteal phase support: Duphaston (a progestin) was probably prescribed to support the luteal phase and prepare the uterus for implantation.
Next steps:
- Follow your doctor's instructions: Continue taking Ovral G as directed and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
- Track your symptoms and cycle: Keep a record of your menstrual cycle, symptoms, and any changes to discuss with your doctor.

View allI recently got my test results for Vitamin D, calcium, and B12. The results showed Calcium at 9.46 mgdL, Vitamin B12 at 436 pgmL, Vitamin D2 at 1.02 ngmL, Vitamin D3 at 17.9 ngmL, and overall Vitamin D at 18.92 ngmL. I realize my Vitamin B12 is on the lower side and Vitamin D is actually deficient. My previous doctor had recommended Shelcal, one tablet for 30 days, and Uprise, one tablet every week for 34 weeks, but I didn't end up taking them. Should I start taking them now? Is that dosage correct? Should I be taking these tablets at night after meals? Also, do you think I should take something for B12 for a few days to improve my levels?

I had laparoscopic ovarian drilling done last week and my doctor said I can start trying to conceive next month. What supplements or diet changes should I focus on to improve my chances of getting pregnant naturally? I want to make sure I'm doing everything right to boost fertility after the surgery
Yes. Your chances of Ovulation will increase and so will your chances of conception. IUI is just a shade better than natural conception because it is timed nicely according to Ovulation. Also the semen is prepared. Even if you go for IUI you should continue your efforts for natural conception.

I'm kind of worried about my health. My pulse is usually around 90 to 115, and my blood pressure is about 80 over something like 90 to 125 over 40 most of the time. Sometimes I get chest pain, and when I exercise, I feel really breathless. It's strange because my reports have been normal for the past 6 or 7 months. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism about 20 months ago, and I've gone from taking 222 carbimazol daily to just 1. I've noticed that my T4 levels slightly increase every couple of months, but they're still in the normal range. So, should I be worried about the chest pain and high pulse rate, or is this okay?
Based on your symptoms and medical history of hyperthyroidism, it is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure closely. The chest pain and elevated pulse rate could be related to your thyroid condition. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. I recommend taking Propranolol 10mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
