I'm thinking about giving my 77-year-old diabetic parent a daily tablet of ceeplus, which is an immunity booster containing 1000 mg of vitamin C, 2000 IU of vitamin D3, and 50 mg of zinc. Is it safe to include this in their routine to help boost their immunity?

I've been taking Letrozole and CCQ as part of my cycle monitoring, and recently had a few hcg injections because my follicles weren't rupturing as expected. They finally ruptured on the 15th day. Then I took Duphaston from the 15th to the 25th day, but now it's Day 31 and I still haven't gotten my period. Is there a chance I could be pregnant this time?
