I'm a bit concerned because I've been taking Folligrow tablets for my hair for about two weeks, and my period, which was due on March 1st, still hasn't started. I'm wondering if taking Folligrow might be causing this delay. Could the tablets be affecting my menstrual cycle?

I've been having these intense cravings to eat slate pencils during my pregnancy, and it's getting hard to ignore. I'm really concerned and want to stop this habit. Can you suggest any ways to help me overcome these cravings?

This condition is known as pica, and it is important to address it for the health of both you and your baby. To help curb this craving, you can try taking iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate or Folic Acid supplements like Folvite. These supplements can help address any nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your cravings. Additionally, you can try snacking on healthy alternatives like fruits, nuts, or seeds to help distract yourself from the craving. It is also important to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support your overall health during pregnancy.

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and don't know what to do. I'm considering an abortion because I just can't handle things anymore. Could you give me some guidance on what my options are and how to go about it? Do you provide abortion services?
