I'm dealing with iron deficiency and was taking Ferrium XT for it. But ever since I started, I've been breaking out with acne on my face. Do you know of any iron supplements that might not have this side effect of acne or pimples?

You can try taking Ferglow tablets, which are a gentle iron supplement that is less likely to cause side effects like acne or pimples. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, but please consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Is it safe to mix Eskinol with Myra-E and then use it on my face? A friend mentioned it to me, and I'm really unsure if this combination actually works or if it's good for my skin.

Predicting the baby's sex based on urine pH and placenta position is a popular myth, but it's not scientifically proven. _Urine pH and Baby Sex_ 1. _No correlation_: There's no conclusive evidence linking urine pH to the baby's sex. 2. _Urine pH 6.5*: This pH level is within the normal range for pregnant women. _Placenta Position and Baby Sex_ 1. _No correlation*: Placenta position, including anterior upper segment, doesn't determine the baby's sex. 2. _Baby's position*: The baby's position on the left side is common and doesn't indicate the sex. _Scientific Methods for Sex Determination_ 1. _Ultrasound*: Around 18-20 weeks, an ultrasound can determine the baby's sex with high accuracy. 2. _Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)*: This blood test can detect the baby's sex and screen for chromosomal abnormalities. At 22 weeks, you can ask your healthcare provider about the baby's sex during your next ultrasound appointment.
