Question 1

I'm a bit worried about my current ovulation induction cycle. Last time, my follicles grew just fine and reached 19mm, but now my dominant follicle went from 14mm down to 12mm. Is it normal for follicle size to decrease in a cycle? What's causing this to happen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible for follicle size to reduce in certain cycles. This can happen due to factors like hormonal fluctuations, poor response to stimulation, or changes in the body's environment. While a reduction in follicle size, such as from 14mm to 12mm, isn't typical, it can occur and may not necessarily indicate a problem. It's important to follow up with your doctor to understand the specific reasons for this change.

Question 2

I've been feeling really tired, sleepy, and even a bit down lately. My recent blood tests showed my vitamin D level is at 14.34 and my B12 is at 164. Could these low levels be the reason for how I'm feeling? What should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

Missing the 3rd shot and taking it later with the 4th shot might slightly increase the risk of rabies, but the overall risk is still low.

The prompt washing of the wound with soap and immediate initiation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) reduced the risk.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends completing the full PEP course, even if delayed.

Monitor yourself for any symptoms of rabies, such as fever, headache, or numbness, for the next few weeks.

Consult your doctor for guidance and reassurance.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about my mother's thyroid test results and was hoping you could help me understand them. Her T3 reading is 2.79 ngml, T4 is 22.1 ugdl, and TSH is 0.015 uIUml. Does this mean there's something wrong with her thyroid? Also, we did a sugar test, and her fasting glucose level was 118, and post meal it was 175. Is this enough to diagnose diabetes? I'm worried and just want to make sure we're taking the right steps.
