I'm a pathologist and currently pregnant. I've had a 7-week ultrasound which showed a fetal heartbeat at 108 beats per minute and the baby's length is 6mm. From what I know, this all seems normal, but I'm aware that hCG is a schedule X drug. Given my situation, should I consider getting hCG injections?

View allCan you have PCOS but still have regular periods? My ultrasound just mentioned I have bilateral polycystic ovaries, not PCOS or PCOD. What does that mean?
Bilateral polycystic ovaries, also known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), is a hormonal condition that affects the ovaries. It occurs when the ovaries produce too many androgens, which are hormones that prevent follicles from maturing and releasing eggs. This results in the ovaries becoming enlarged and containing many small cysts. PCOS is a common condition that affects women of reproductive age. Symptoms include: Irregular or missed periods Excess hair growth Acne Weight gain Darkening of the skin Skin tags Thinning hair
