I'm on day 13 after my IUI and have been taking progesterone. I've had headaches, leg and back pain, and sometimes my mouth waters or I feel aches like when my period is about to start. I havent taken a pregnancy test yet because my period isn't due for another four days. Can you advise me on what might be going on?

Chicken is a moderate-purine food, which means it can contribute to uric acid production in the body. However, the impact is relatively mild compared to high-purine foods like organ meats, seafood, and beer.
To put things into perspective:
- 3 ounces (85g) of cooked chicken contain about 150-200 mg of purines.
- The recommended daily purine intake for individuals with gout or high uric acid is around 100-150 mg.
If you're concerned about uric acid, consider these tips:
- Moderation is key: Enjoy chicken in moderation (1-2 servings a week).
- Balance your diet: Pair chicken with low-purine foods like vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy.
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid.
You don't necessarily need to stop eating chicken entirely, Manas. Just be mindful of your overall diet and purine intake.

View allI'm feeling this weird bulging sensation in my throat along with really deep sleep and a lot of tiredness. My blood pressure feels low, and my hands are shaking a bit. I'm pretty concerned and not sure what to do. Any advice on what could be going on or how to handle this?
These symptoms could be indicative of hypothyroidism. I recommend consulting a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage of 25-50 mcg daily to help regulate thyroid hormone levels and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, ensure you are getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet to support overall health.

Could you tell me how often I should take the Calcirol sachet for Vitamin D? Is it supposed to be once a week? And for how long should I continue before stopping or taking a break? I'm wondering if there's a specific cycle or schedule I should follow.
It depends on how much is your vitamin d3 levels. Mostly we prescribe or i prescribe it to be taken once a week for 12 weeks. You could even use D3 must 60k tablets once a week for 12 weeks if you dont like the granules. Also get adequate sunlight daily. This is also important.

I'm a 30-year-old and I'm curious about how I might be able to increase the Y chromosomes in my sperm. Can changing my diet help with this? Also, is there a way to test the Y chromosome levels in my sperm?
Increasing the number of Y chromosomes in sperm isn't something that can be directly influenced by food habits. The sex chromosomes in sperm are determined naturally during sperm production. While there's no specific test to check Y chromosomes in sperm, you can opt for sperm sorting methods like sperm sex selection, which is available in some fertility clinics. It's always best to consult a fertility specialist for personalized advice.
