I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI.

Follicle Size

Ideal size: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range.

Monitoring: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI.

Endometrium Thickness

Ideal thickness: 6-10 mm for IUI.

Current thickness: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range.

Waiting for 16th day: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable.

Next Steps

Follow your doctor's advice: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness.

Continue monitoring follicle growth: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI.

Discuss trigger shot options: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation.

Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!

I had unprotected sex on April 6th and my girlfriend's last period started on March 8th. She's 21 and really doesn't want to be pregnant. It's April 13th now and her period still hasn't started. We're both worried. What should we do?

Firstly what you need to do is quit having sex with her this way. If she doesn't want to be pregnant and you don't want to take any responsibility, then why don't you use condom? Take her to a gynaecologist in person for further evaluation and management.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?

Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.
