View allI've been diagnosed with a 2.2x1.5cm posterior wall intramural fibroid and my endometrial thickness is 5mm. Do I need surgery for this? Could it affect my chances of getting pregnant? Are there any medications that can completely treat it?
Intramural fibroids may affect fertility but surgery is usually only needed if they cause symptoms or failed conception; medicines like GnRH analogs may help shrink them.

I'm really confused about the result of my home pregnancy test. It showed a faint line along with a dark one. What does this mean about my pregnancy status? Am I pregnant or not? If I am, I'm not really looking to continue with this pregnancy, so I'd like to know what my options are.
A faint line alongside a dark line on a UPT usually indicates a positive result, meaning you may be pregnant. I understand this might be overwhelming. If you're not ready to continue the pregnancy, options such as consulting a healthcare provider for a safe early pregnancy termination can be explored. It's important to discuss your feelings and options with a trusted doctor.

I'm usually on a 30-day cycle and have PCOD. I've been going through fertility treatment and started taking Duphaston from the 16th day. My period was due on the 5th, and now it's the 12th, but I still haven't gotten it. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Should I stop taking Duphaston, or is there a chance I'll get my period while still on it?
Best would be to consult gynaecologist who is treating. Otherwise wait for one more week for periods then repeat pregnancy test with morning sample urine, if negative then stop Duphaston.
