I'm wondering if taking HCG 5000 IU, like my doctor suggested, is actually going to help me get pregnant. Is there a specific time when we should have intercourse for the best chance of it working?

Question

I'm dealing with PCOD and have been trying to conceive for a few months now. I had an HSG scan that mentioned uterine synchiea, and I've done tests for TB which came back negative. I recently had an abdomen scan on Friday, August 7th, and got an HCG injection on August 10th. We tried until August 14th. What are the chances of becoming pregnant?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on Human Mixtard insulin with 20 units in the morning and 15 at night, but she's been having these really scary hypoglycemic episodes. Recently, her kidney issues were also pointed out by a distant doctor. At a nearby hospital, they suggested switching her to Ryzodeg and changing her dose to 10 units. But ever since that change, her blood sugar has skyrocketed to 480 at night before insulin and dinner, and her fasting level is at 280. I'm really anxious about these high levels. What can I do to help get her sugar levels under control? Any advice would be really appreciated.
