I've been taking Susten 400 twice a day since my IUI on July 5th, as my doctor suggested doing it for 15 days. But now it's day 11, and I'm having all these period symptoms. Do you think I should stop taking Susten, or is this normal? I'm just a bit worried and unsure about what to do next.

It is important to continue using Susten as prescribed by your doctor to support the early stages of pregnancy. It is recommended to complete the full course of medication unless otherwise advised by your doctor.

I've been dealing with a painful Bartholin abscess or cyst and wondering if homeopathy can actually cure it completely or if surgery is the only option. Does homeopathy really work for this and can it prevent it from coming back?

Marsupialization. If cysts recur or bother you, a marsupialization (mahr-soo-pee-ul-ih-ZAY-shun) procedure may help. Your doctor places stitches on each side of a drainage incision to create a permanent opening less than 1/4-inch (about 6-millimeter) long
