View allI'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?

I'm really concerned about my wife's health because her vitamin D levels are super low; it's only at 8 when it should be around 40. Our doctor has prescribed her these vitamin D3 sachets, each containing 60,000 units. She's supposed to take one sachet a week for six weeks, and then after that, it's one sachet every two weeks for another six weeks. That seems like a lot to me. I'm curious if 60,000 units is too high of a dosage for her?
The dosage of 60,000 units of vitamin D3 once a week for 6 weeks, followed by once every two weeks for the next 6 weeks, is a common treatment regimen for correcting severe vitamin D deficiency. This high dosage is typically used to rapidly increase vitamin D levels in the body. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen as directed by the doctor to effectively raise the vitamin D levels.

I'm really worried about my mom, who's 47 and has been diagnosed with a colloid nodular goitre. The size is 80mm, and I'm wondering if she really needs surgery. If she does, are there any risks involved? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing.
For a 47-year-old woman with an 80mm colloid nodular goiter, surgical removal (thyroidectomy) may be recommended if the goiter is causing symptoms like difficulty swallowing, breathing, or neck discomfort, or if there's suspicion of malignancy; however, surgery carries risks like vocal cord damage, hypoparathyroidism, and bleeding, so it's essential to consult an endocrinologist or thyroid surgeon to discuss the risks and benefits and determine the best course of action.
