I'm in my 17th week of pregnancy and starting from my 7th week, I was taking progesterone 200mg. This week, my gynecologist told me to stop taking it, and I'm a bit worried. Is this normal, and could it have any impact on my baby?

Stopping progesterone supplementation at 17 weeks is a common practice, as the placenta typically takes over progesterone production by this gestational age; however, it's essential to follow your gynecologist's guidance, as individual circumstances may vary, and abruptly stopping progesterone can increase miscarriage risk in some cases.

View allI'm wondering if there's a good chance of getting pregnant after undoing a family planning operation. My sister is thinking about going through this and we're both a bit anxious about what to expect in terms of pregnancy possibilities. Can you give us some guidance on the likelihood of conceiving again?
Reversing a family planning operation, such as a tubal ligation, is possible for some women, but it's difficult, expensive, and often doesn't lead to pregnancy. The procedure is called a tubal reversal or tubal reanastomo.. Surgery to reverse sterilization is possible for only some womenthose who have enough fallopian tube left.The pregnancy rate following tubal ligation reversal varies from 50% to 80%.

I've been diagnosed with small fibroids in both breasts and my doctor said surgery isn't needed but now my right armpit has a soft swollen bump that feels like fat or maybe extra breast tissue there's no pain or lumps is this something to worry about
A soft bump under the armpit may be ectopic breast tissue or a lipoma. It’s usually harmless, but an ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis.

What's the safe window for having unprotected sex to avoid pregnancy? Is there a way I can have sex without a condom and my wife wont get pregnant?
The concept of a "safe period" refers to the time in a woman's menstrual cycle when she is least likely to conceive. However, it is important to note that this method is not highly reliable, as ovulation can vary. For more effective pregnancy prevention, it's advisable to use contraception, such as condoms or other birth control methods, to reduce the risk of pregnancy.
