I'm really thin and have been since I was a kid. No matter how much I eat, I just can't seem to put on weight. Do you have any advice or could there be some underlying issue that's causing this?

I'm 26 years old and have been dealing with gynaecomastia since 2012. I tried some homeopathic remedies like Reckweg R19, R41, and Testis Siccati on the advice of a homeopath, but they didnt help. I also have a sparse beard, although all my other male features seem normal. Can you offer any advice or treatment options?

I'm a bit worried about my current ovulation induction cycle. Last time, my follicles grew just fine and reached 19mm, but now my dominant follicle went from 14mm down to 12mm. Is it normal for follicle size to decrease in a cycle? What's causing this to happen?

Yes, it is possible for follicle size to reduce in certain cycles. This can happen due to factors like hormonal fluctuations, poor response to stimulation, or changes in the body's environment. While a reduction in follicle size, such as from 14mm to 12mm, isn't typical, it can occur and may not necessarily indicate a problem. It's important to follow up with your doctor to understand the specific reasons for this change.
