I'm trying to figure out the right time for some tests after my period. How many days should I wait for my blood and urine tests to give accurate results? Also, do you think it's necessary to have a physical examination of the vagina to check for a fungal infection? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your advice.

For accurate blood and urine tests, it's ideal to wait at least 5-7 days after your period ends, as hormone levels and other factors can fluctuate during menstruation. Regarding fungal infections, a physical examination of the vagina is often required to accurately diagnose and treat the condition, as visual inspection and sometimes a swab are necessary for confirmation.

I'm two months pregnant and my doctor suggested I take doxinate for managing nausea. I'm just wondering, when's the best time to take doxinate during the first trimester?

-Hi! You can take Doxinate 30 minutes before meals, especially in the morning, to help prevent nausea throughout the day. If your nausea worsens at specific times, adjust accordingly, like taking it at night for morning sickness. Always follow your doctor
