Is there any medicine that can shrink a 5cm fibroid without surgery? My doctor recommended a hysterectomy but we want to have another child so we're looking for other options

Yes, medications like GnRH analogs or uterine artery embolization can shrink fibroids—consult fertility-focused gynecologist for options.

I'm kind of worried because I had unprotected sex on March 20th and got nervous so I took an ipill within 12 hours, even though he didnt finish inside me. Then the next day we had unprotected sex again, and I took another ipill. My period was supposed to start on March 25th, but now its late, and I havent had any bleeding, even though Ive read that you might get a heavy flow after taking ipills. I'm really scared. What should I do?

The delay in your period could be a side effect of the pill. I recommend waiting for a few more days for your period to arrive. If you do not get your period after a week or so, you can consider taking a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. In the meantime, try to stay calm and avoid stress as it can also affect your menstrual cycle.

I'm thinking about having a second child and really hope for a baby boy to complete our family. My first child is a lovely 3.5-year-old girl. Is there any advice or methods to help conceive a boy?

While it's not possible to guarantee the gender of your baby naturally, some methods like timing intercourse around ovulation or choosing specific positions may slightly influence the odds. However, it's important to remember that the most accurate way to select a baby's gender is through medical procedures like IVF with genetic testing, though these come with ethical and legal considerations.

My wife's 24 weeks pregnant, and she's dealing with a runny nose, sneezing, and a headache. Before she got pregnant, her doctor said she could use Nasonex nasal spray. Now we're not sure if it's safe for her to take it. Can you advise on whether it's okay for her to use Nasonex during pregnancy?
