I'm really struggling because I had my tubes tied 8 years ago, and now I can't afford IVF or anything like that. I'm just wondering if there are any over-the-counter hormone pills that could help me get pregnant. Any advice would be appreciated.

Tubal ligation is a reversible procedure. In order to increase chances of pregnancy, you should first have TLR procedure done. Following this, you can visit a specialist to get a prescription for fertility enhancement medication.

View allI have thyroid nodules in both lobes - one is 4x4 mm and the other is 1x1 mm on the right side. The FNAC report suggests excision biopsy for possible papillary carcinoma, but my thyroid is enlarged with normal T3/T4 and TSH at 5.02 which is almost at the upper limit. Is thyroidectomy absolutely necessary or are there other treatment options to shrink these nodules without surgery?
thyroidectomy (thyroid removal surgery) may be necessary for larger or suspicious nodules, especially if the FNAC report suggests possible papillary carcinoma, other treatment options, such as watchful waiting, thyroid hormone therapy, or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), are available to shrink or manage thyroid nodules. The decision of whether to proceed with thyroidectomy or other treatments will depend on the size, nature, and suspiciousness of the nodules, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences.

Both my fallopian tubes are blocked and I'm really confused about what to do next. Should I consider getting endoscopy surgery to clear the blockages or would it be better to go straight for IVF? I'm worried about the success rates and recovery time for each option.
With bilateral fallopian tube blockages, both endoscopic surgery and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) are options, but IVF is often the more direct path to pregnancy. Endoscopic surgery, like tubal recanalization or salpingectomy, might be considered if there's a chance to repair the tubes, but success rates can vary depending on the cause and severity of the blockage. IVF bypasses the tubes entirely, making it a more reliable option for some, but it also has its own success rates and recovery time to consider.
