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.

I have a 13.3 mm secretory hyperplastic endometrium and two myomas one anterior subserous 31x24 mm and another posterior panmural 76x68 mm. The myometrial-endometrial interface is intact, and my cervix is normal. There's a 21 mm dominant follicle in my right ovary with a corpus luteum, and my ovaries measure 38x21 mm (right) and 31x17 mm (left). No free fluid in the adnexae, but some in the POD. My doctor is recommending surgery are there any alternatives I can consider?

Myomas more than 5cm are theorically better to b removed.. More so if u have menstrual disturbances or difficulty in getting pregnant

My wife has been experiencing this irregular pain in her breast, usually with mild intensity. Its mainly on the outer part and even extends to under her arm. She mostly feels it when she touches the area. Were trying to understand what could be causing this and what remedies might help. Any insights would be appreciated.

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
