I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?

-VIt's generally safe to stop the HCG injection if your doctor advises it, as the body can maintain pregnancy on its own. However, it's always good to follow your doctor's advice closely to avoid any hormonal imbalances.

I'm a bit worried because I had a mammography test about three years back, which showed a fibroadenoma of 1.8 cm. I got married last year, but the tumor is still there. What should I do now?

Fibroadenomas are typically benign and often dont require treatment unless they cause symptoms or grow. Since your tumor has remained stable at 1.8 cm for 3 years, it's generally safe to monitor it. However, I recommend a follow-up ultrasound or consultation with a specialist to assess any changes and discuss your options for management.

I'm really worried about getting my copper T removed. Is the procedure painful? Also, how much might I expect to pay for the removal? I could really use some advice.

The bright yellow urine color is likely due to Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) in Becosules. To reduce the color: 1. Drink plenty of water 2. Continue taking Becosules unless other adverse effects occur 3. Monitor urine color and consult your doctor if it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms. Stop taking Becosules if you experience severe abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, or allergic reactions.
