I'm a bit confused about my vitamin D3 situation. My level is 28.06, and I've been taking Lumia 60k every week, but it's giving me some side effects. I spoke with another doctor, and they recommended taking Lumia 60k just once a month instead of weekly. Could you help clarify what's the best approach for me?

I'm really worried because my wife recently went through an IVF procedure at a fertility center in Chennai after we tried the IUI process 9 times due to my low sperm count but had no success. I've heard that IVF can sometimes fail, and I'm concerned about whether going through this process multiple times could affect my wife's health. Can you help me understand why IVF might not work and if repeated attempts could cause health issues for her?

failure will be there in IVF as they don't literally inject sperm in to egg , and every procedure will have its own risk , but you need to seek the the reason behind last failure

I've got a 14 mm thyroid nodule in my right lobe that's grown by 2 mm over the last 1.5 years. A FNA in September 2014 showed it was an adenomatoid nodule with cystic degeneration and there was scant thick colloid in the smears. The FNAC in November 2014 showed suboptimal cellularity. I had a CT scan recently for my neck, and it came back completely normal. My thyroid tests from a few months ago were also normal. Should I consider getting another FNAC or is surgery the next step?
