I've been married for a year and a half and have been trying to conceive for the past nine months with treatment. I'm dealing with PCOD and I'm wondering if it's actually possible to conceive naturally with this condition. Any insights would really help me.

PCOD can make it more difficult to conceive, but it is still possible. Your doctor may prescribe you metformin to help regulate your menstrual cycle and ovulation. In addition, you may be prescribed clomiphene citrate to stimulate ovulation. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations for dosage and timing.

I'm 22 and have always been on the skinny side, no matter how much I eat or try to bulk up. It's been a real struggle for me.

My mom's been dealing with hypothyroidism for about 2 years now, and lately, whenever she gets anxious, her blood pressure spikes, although she's not hypertensive. Since last night, her BP's been consistently high, with systolic ranging from 146 to 156. She's feeling a bit anxious too, and I gave her a 5 mg dose of amlodipine this morning, which brought her BP down to 14698. But it's gone back up again. Can you help us figure out what's going on?
The high blood pressure readings along with anxiety symptoms in your mother could be due to a combination of factors, including her underlying hypothyroidism. In this situation, it would be advisable to add a medication specifically for controlling blood pressure. I recommend starting her on a medication called Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it would be beneficial to address the anxiety symptoms with a medication such as Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
