I did an IUI on February 15th, and my last period started on February 1st. I havent gotten my period yet, and the pregnancy test is negative. Im getting period-like cramps on and off, which is confusing because I'm usually pretty regular. Could you help me understand what's going on?

It is possible that the delay in your period and the presence of cramping could be due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, changes in diet or exercise, or even the aftermath of the IUI procedure. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Medroxyprogesterone to help induce a period if deemed appropriate by your doctor.

I'm currently taking Eltroxin 75 mg for my thyroid first thing in the morning before breakfast. I usually like to have a glass of lemon juice with honey as part of my morning routine. Is it okay for me to drink the lemon juice and honey before taking my Eltroxin? If it is, how much time should I wait after having the juice before taking my tablet? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.

In the morning, you can take Lemon Juice with Honey before taking Eltroxin 75 mg. However, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour after consuming the juice before taking the Eltroxin tablet for optimal absorption and effectiveness of the medication.
