While having regular periods after a hydrosalpinx is a good sign, it's crucial to understand the potential impact of the condition on fertility. Depending on your goals and circumstances, treatment might be recommended. Leaving hydrosalpinx untreated can decrease the chances of conceiving naturally and increase the risk of complications like ectopic pregnancy

I'm seven months pregnant and I've been dealing with a dry cough since this morning. I'm considering taking Benadryl DR, but I'm not sure if it's safe at this stage of pregnancy. Are there other cough syrups you would recommend that are safe for me to use? I'm just experiencing a dry cough, nothing else weird going on.

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,
