I'm really concerned because I'm experiencing body pain and a throat infection, and I'm pregnant right now. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to use a cough syrup that has acefylline piperazine and diphenhydramine HCL in it. What do you think?

View allI'm dealing with PCOS, and I was given an HCG shot of 10,000 UI along with Duphaston. My pregnancy test came back negative, and now my doctor has prescribed Ovral G for 20 days starting from the second day of my period. I'm wondering why I've been given Ovral G, and why it's important to take it at the same time every day. Could you help me understand this better?

I'm really concerned about this ongoing heavy bleeding I've been experiencing for the past three weeks. It's been diagnosed as uterine polyps around 2cm, and the bleeding isn't stopping even with taking Pause and Sylate. Is there any way to control the bleeding without having to remove the polyps?
Given the heavy bleeding and ineffectiveness of Pause and Sylate, consider consulting your gynecologist
