I'm on day 6 after my embryo transfer, and I've started feeling really itchy, but there aren't any rashes. Could this be a side effect of the progesterone?

View allI'm 34 weeks pregnant and my blood sugar is 204 pp. I'm really worried about this. I'm on 8 units of insulin every day, but it seems like it's not enough. Can you suggest ways to better control my blood sugar? I'm also wondering if this could have any negative effect on my baby.
High blood sugar during this period can lead to macrosomic baby that can make the labour difficult. After birth baby is at risk of hypoglucemia, hyperbilirubinemia, thrombocytopenia etc. During this period you need to monitor your sugar levels 3-7 times per day and the insulin doses need to be modified to maintain fasting less than 90 and PP less than 120. Kindly get back with sugar chart and insulin dose details

I've been on progesterone from day 21 after my IUI, and I'm having belly cramps, so my doc gave me Drotin for the pain. I don't feel any pregnancy symptoms yet like discharge or sore breasts. Is this normal? When do pregnancy symptoms usually start? How can I tell if the IUI was successful?
It is normal not to experience pregnancy symptoms immediately after an IUI procedure. Pregnancy symptoms typically start appearing around 4-6 weeks after conception. To know if your IUI was successful, you will need to wait for a missed period and then take a pregnancy test. If the test is positive, it indicates a successful IUI. In the meantime, continue with your progesterone support as prescribed.

Is gynecomastia treatable without surgery and if surgery is the only option could it cause any issues later on
Gynecomastia can sometimes be treated without surgery using medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene, especially if it's hormone-related. However, if surgery is necessary, complications are rare but may include changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon can assess your case.
