I'm kind of worried because I missed my period. My last one started on March 3rd and I took a home pregnancy test on April 5th, which came out positive. I also got a BETA HCG test the same day and the levels were at 309.1 mIUml. Can you let me know if these results definitely mean that I'm pregnant? And if so, is there any indication from the HCG levels about whether it's a healthy pregnancy?

Your pregnancy test results are positive. In order to determine whether it is a healthy pregnancy, you will have to consult an obstetrician and undergo a panel of antenatal blood tests and scans.

I'm really worried because my period usually starts on the 17th, but after having sex with my boyfriend on the 23rd, I got pregnant. I took an i-pill right after, and my period came early on the 2nd, which got me really stressed out. Now it's the 3rd, and I'm still not having my period. What should I do?

I'm wondering about taking fluconazole 150mg. Is it something I can take every day, or should there be days between doses? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

The prescribed dose of fluconazole 150mg is typically taken as a single dose for vaginal yeast infections, or every 3-4 days for 2-3 doses for skin and mucous membrane infections, but for other conditions like ringworm, dosage may vary,
