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?

I recently started wearing a wired bra about a week ago, and the pain began around the same time. Even though I've stopped wearing that bra, the pain hasn't gone away. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.
