So, I've been advised to take a B12 injection weekly for six weeks and then once a month for the next six months. I'm just wondering, is there a specific time of day that's best to get these injections? Also, I'm currently taking Zitten 20mg in the morning for diabetes and Razel 5mg at night. Should I be concerned about any side effects or interactions with these medications?

Masturbation Frequency and Infertility_
Masturbating 2-3 times a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency. Research suggests that masturbation has no direct link to infertility.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) states that "masturbation does not affect fertility."
Sperm Count and Semen Analysis
If you're concerned about your fertility, consider consulting a urologist or an andrologist for a semen analysis. This test evaluates:
- Sperm count (concentration)
- Sperm motility (movement)
- Sperm morphology (shape)
- Semen volume
- pH levels
A semen analysis can help identify potential issues, but it's essential to note that:
- Sperm count can fluctuate due to various factors, such as stress, temperature, and frequency of ejaculation.
- A single semen analysis may not provide a complete picture of your fertility.
To ensure accurate results, follow these guidelines:
- Abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before the test.
- Provide a fresh semen sample.
- Repeat the test after 2-3 months to confirm results.

Intermittent pain can be concerning. _Possible causes:_ 1. _Muscle strain_: Overstretching or straining a muscle can cause pain, especially when bending, stretching, or taking deep breaths. 2. _Rib or cartilage issue_: Pain when taking deep breaths could indicate a rib or cartilage problem, such as costochondritis. 3. _Intercostal muscle strain_: Strain in the muscles between the ribs can cause pain when bending, stretching, or breathing deeply. _What to do:_ 1. _Apply heat or cold packs_: Try applying heat or cold packs to the affected area to relieve pain and discomfort. 2. _Stretch gently_: Gentle stretching can help relieve muscle tension. Avoid overstretching, which can exacerbate the issue. 3. _Rest and relaxation_: Get plenty of rest and try to manage stress to help your body recover. 4. _Consult a doctor_: If the pain persists or worsens, consult a primary care physician or an orthopedic specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. _When to seek immediate attention:_ 1. _Severe pain_: If the pain is severe, sudden, or worsens over time. 2. _Difficulty breathing_: If you experience difficulty breathing or chest pain. 3. _Fever or swelling_: If you notice fever, swelling, or redness around the affected area.

I've been married for a year and a half and have been trying to conceive for the past nine months with treatment. I'm dealing with PCOD and I'm wondering if it's actually possible to conceive naturally with this condition. Any insights would really help me.
PCOD can make it more difficult to conceive, but it is still possible. Your doctor may prescribe you metformin to help regulate your menstrual cycle and ovulation. In addition, you may be prescribed clomiphene citrate to stimulate ovulation. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations for dosage and timing.
