My wife is in her 10th week of pregnancy and has been prescribed ONDEM MD 4 to help with nausea and vomiting. The instructions are to take it twice a day, but we're a bit worried if it's safe to use on a daily basis. Also, one evening she unintentionally took a double dose. Should we be concerned about any side effects from that? Really appreciate any insights you can share.

Ondem MD 4, containing ondansetron, is generally considered safe for pregnant women to manage nausea and vomiting, but should be used under medical supervision; taking a double dose by mistake may cause side effects like headaches, dizziness, or constipation, but these are usually mild and temporary

I've just found out I have an endometriotic cyst that's 53.5 cm I'm 29 years old. Is surgery the only way to get rid of it, and could this affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future?

While surgery, specifically laparoscopic cystectomy, is often the recommended treatment for a large endometriotic cyst, it's not the only option. Hormone therapy can help manage the condition and potentially shrink the cyst. Regarding fertility, endometriosis itself can impact pregnancy chances, but removing the cyst may improve them, especially in cases of deep endometriosis
