I'm curious about how long an HCG 5000 shot stays in the body. Also, I'm wondering how many days I should wait before taking a pregnancy test after getting the shot. Do you think it's okay if I take the test 15 days after the shot?

I'm in my second trimester and I'm thinking about starting to use something for moisturizing my skin to prevent stretch marks. Is Bio Oil safe to use during pregnancy? Could it harm the baby or cause any birth defects? I'm a little concerned and would love some guidance.

I've got this lump on my right breast and was told to take simrose tablets as it's supposed to be normal. But now there's another lump, and it hurts when I sleep because I lie on my breast. Should I be thinking about removing the fibroid? Who should I talk to about this, especially since I'm new in the city?

Given the recurrence of breast lumps and associated pain, especially with pressure, consult ageneral surgeon in your new city for a thorough evaluation, including a clinical breast examination, ultrasound, or mammography, to determine the nature of the lumps and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include fibroadenoma removal or other interventions
