I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI. _Follicle Size_ 1. _Ideal size_: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range. 2. _Monitoring_: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI. _Endometrium Thickness_ 1. _Ideal thickness_: 6-10 mm for IUI. 2. _Current thickness_: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range. 3. _Waiting for 16th day_: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow your doctor's advice_: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness. 2. _Continue monitoring follicle growth_: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI. 3. _Discuss trigger shot options_: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation. Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!

I've been told I need laparoscopic surgery to remove a dermoid cyst on my left ovary it's currently 3.2x3 cm. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a year, and I'm unsure if I should get the surgery before getting pregnant. Is this cyst size big enough to require removal, or can I wait? What are the risks if I delay surgery?

You need to be cleared of dermoid cyst before planning for pregnancy, as it may pose some problem later. Laparoscopy is the best option.

I'm a little worried because for the past 23 months, my periods havent been normal. There's only a tiny bit of bleeding, not the usual red blood, and it only lasts for a couple of days. Plus, I'm not experiencing the stomach aches that I used to get. Could this be related to PCOD or something to do with infertility?

Irregular periods, light bleeding, and reduced stomach cramps can be symptoms of various conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD). These hormonal disorders can disrupt ovulation, leading to irregular periods, infertility, and other symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and weight gain. Other possible causes include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or stress. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if you're concerned about infertility or other related health issues.
