I'm dealing with PCOS and noticed I have a dominant follicle measuring 1915mm in my right ovary on the 12th day of my cycle. The sizes of my ovaries are 11cc on the right and 9cc on the left. I'm really eager to know if I can get pregnant with this dominant follicle. I'm currently taking letrozole, folvite, and duphaston. Could you give me some insight on this?

Yes, there is a possibility of getting pregnant with the dominant follicle present. The medications you are taking are helpful in promoting ovulation and supporting a healthy pregnancy.

I've had a benign carotid body tumor on the left side of my neck for 4 years now, about 30x29 mm in size. I didn't go for surgery and have been managing it with ayurvedic treatment to prevent it from growing. I'm also exploring homeopathy. Sometimes I get palpitations and pain, but only when I have colds or coughs. Should I be worried about these symptoms or consider other treatment options?

Given the tumor size and symptoms, re-evaluation by a head and neck surgeon is advisable despite alternative therapies.
