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'm 33 and pregnant, about six months along. I've been keeping an eye on my pulse rate using an oximeter, and it's usually about 100 beats per minute. But today, it spiked to 130 beats per minute. Is this something I should be worried about?

Can you touch your cervix?

Your body position should allow you to easily reach your cervix. That may be sitting on the toilet, putting one leg up on the edge of the bathtub, or squatting. Reach your finger inside of your vagina. Use the index or middle finger and slowly slide your finger in as far as you can reach, in sort of an upward motion.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.
