I'm really worried about my cousin's situation because her amniotic fluid levels have been decreasing again. She had it at 4.6 cm at 32 weeks, then after taking the L-arginine sachets three times a day, it went up to 8.6 cm by 34 weeks. But now it's down to 4 cm again at 36 weeks. The baby's growth and blood supply looked normal in the Doppler scan. The doctor said to have another scan in 4 days. Why might the fluid be going down again, and does this mean she'll still be able to have a normal delivery?

View allI had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on February 11th, and my period had ended just a few days before on the 8th. I took an Unwanted 72 pill within 7 hours afterward. A week later, I experienced withdrawal bleeding for 5 days. I'm really worried about whether there's still a chance I could be pregnant. Also, I'm confused about when I should expect my next period. Can you please help me figure this out?

I'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 taking primolut N to delay my periods because of a work emergency. My period was originally supposed to start around the 23rd or 24th of September. Today is the 22nd, and I'm on my second day with primolut N, but I'm noticing a light white-pinkish discharge. Is this normal? Should I keep taking primolut N? I really can't afford to get my period right now because it's usually very heavy.
It's normal to experience some spotting or discharge while taking this medication, especially in the initial days, as it can affect the lining of your uterus.If the discharge becomes heavier, or you experience any unusual symptoms like severe abdominal pain or heavy bleeding then consult the doctor
