I'm really confused right now. My pregnancy test came back negative after doing IUI, but I still haven't gotten my period. Should I stop taking progesterone, or is there something else I should consider?

If your pregnancy test is negative after IUI and your periods have not started, it is safe to stop taking progesterone. Progesterone is usually prescribed to support early pregnancy, so if you are not pregnant, there is no need to continue taking it.

I'm dealing with slightly elevated thyroid levels and I'm on Eltroxin 75 mg. I'm working on losing weightI'm going to the gym every day and I've lost a decent amount so far, but now my weight loss has stalled. Someone suggested I try creatine to boost my weightlifting and help burn more fat. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's safe with my thyroid situation. I also drink a lot of water, about 67 liters daily, in case that matters. Do you think creatine would be okay for me to use?

Since you are taking Eltroxin and are focusing on weight loss and fitness, adding creatine to your regimen can be safe
