Question 1

I'm thinking about starting Novelon tablets for my polycystic ovaries to help regulate my periods. I'm a bit concerned though, will taking them cause me to gain weight? I do plan on taking them with my doctor's advice, but Id love to know if this has been an issue for others in the past. Can you confirm?

Accepted Answer

Novelon tablet, containing desogestrel, is a progestin-only pill used to regulate menstrual cycles, including in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but it may not directly address polycystic ovaries; regarding weight gain, Novelon is considered weight-neutral, meaning it's unlikely to cause significant weight gain, but individual responses may vary;

Question 2

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and recently had my level 2 scan which showed an echogenic focus in the left ventricle. They found another echogenic focus measuring 3.5mm during a fetal echo. I've been trying to conceive for 5 years and finally succeeded with IVF, so I'm really stressed about this. Is this something serious? Can you help me understand what this means?

Accepted Answer

An echogenic focus in the fetal heart is a common finding during pregnancy ultrasounds. In most cases, it is considered a normal variant and not a cause for concern, especially if all other parameters are normal. However, given your history of IVF conception and the size of the echogenic focus at 3.5mm, it is important to monitor it closely. I recommend discussing this finding with your obstetrician. They may suggest further follow-up ultrasounds to track the size and appearance of the echogenic focus. In most cases, no treatment is needed, and it often resolves on its own. Just continue with your regular prenatal care and follow your doctor's recommendations for a healthy pregnancy.

Question 3

I'm trying to figure out the best positions for us when having sex and what timing is optimal. Also, any tips on different styles that might be good for both of us?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to sexual activity, it is important to prioritize communication, consent, and mutual pleasure. The best position for you and your partner can vary based on personal preferences and comfort levels.

I've been diagnosed with a fibroid outside my uterus and have lower abdominal pain. Is surgery necessary for this, or can the fibroid shrink on its own over time? Are there any medicines that can help reduce it without causing side effects?
