I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant, and my latest ultrasound showed that my placenta is posterior with the lower margin being 4.2 cm away from the internal os. It's graded at 1 right now. I'm really keen on traveling soon and just wanted to check if that's safe given my current condition. Any advice?

My right ovary has a 7.5 cm endometriosis chocolate cyst and a 1 cm uterine fibroid. Is there any way to treat the hemorrhagic cyst without laparoscopic surgery? I've heard about GnRH agonist drugs to shrink endometriosis before surgery. My periods are regular, and I don't have pain except for frequent urination. I really want to conceive soon what are my options?

For a 7.5 cm endometriosis cyst, GnRH agonist drugs may help shrink it before surgery, but if you want to conceive soon, laparoscopic surgery might still be necessary. Discuss your options with a fertility specialist.
