I'm really concerned about my baby's health after our recent scan. At 12 weeks and 4 days, the NT scan measurement came back as 2.4mm, and the nasal bone is measuring 1.5mm. It's already been 24 hours since the scan, and I'm a bit anxious about whether these measurements are normal or if there's something I should be worried about. Could you please advise on what this could mean and if there are any steps we need to take?

I've recently been diagnosed with chlamydia and they prescribed me 500 mg of Azithromycin. I'm 51 years old and weigh 105 lbs. I've been reading that most people are given 1000 mg for treatment. Should I be concerned that I wasn't given the right dosage to cure it? Is this normal or should I reach back out to my doctor?

Be rest assured, your doctor prescribed you the dose that you require. Do not see internet threads. Your doctor knows better. AZYTHROMYCIN is typically given at 500 mg for adults over 18 yrs... So it's appropriate dose for you.

Can a woman get pregnant after family planning operation?

It is still possible to become pregnant after undergoing the procedure, but tubal ligation is usually highly effective. The surgery involves cutting and tying off the fallopian tubes to prevent an egg from entering the uterus. Undergoing tubal ligation increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
