Levocetirizine is generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially in the recommended doses. However, as you are in your first trimester, it's important to consult your healthcare provider before taking any medication, including levocetirizine, to ensure its the best option for your specific situation.

View allI just got scanned for infertility and the doctor found a cyst saying I need laparoscopic surgery right away because it's preventing pregnancy. Can you explain why this cyst is stopping me from getting pregnant and how urgent the surgery really is? Also, could you check the images I uploaded to see if surgery is the only option?

My wife's dye test shows bilateral fimbrial blockage and the doctor is recommending laparoscopic surgery. Are there any other treatment options we should consider? Should we get an HSG test done before deciding on surgery?

I'm really worried and a bit confused. Is there any chance of pregnancy from non-penetrative sex? We only rubbed, and he didn't have a full erection or ejaculate. But now she's experiencing some brown spotting after 19 days. Her periods are usually irregular, and she hasn't had them for the past two months. We did a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. Could you help us understand what's going on?
While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible to get pregnant from non-penetrative sex, as pre-ejaculate fluid can contain sperm; however, given the circumstances you described, pregnancy is unlikely; the brown spotting 19 days after the incident could be related to various factors, such as hormonal changes, stress, or other medical conditions; considering her irregular periods and missed periods for two month
