I've been wondering if it's really necessary to go through with the double marker and NT scan tests. Are these tests truly important for my pregnancy, or is it more of a way to get us to spend money? I'm feeling a bit worried about whether skipping these could impact me or my baby. What do you think?

Double marker and NT scan tests are important screening tests recommended during pregnancy to assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome in the fetus. These tests provide valuable information to the healthcare provider to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby. It is not just about money business, but rather about ensuring a healthy pregnancy and making informed decisions. It is advisable to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding these tests for proper prenatal care.

I'm really worried about my 15-year-old daughter who has PCOS. She's been on Krimson 35 and Aldactone for 7 months and took Isotret 20 for 3 months. Her periods have become regular, and her pimples have cleared up, but she still has scars. I'm wondering if she can stop her medication now. If we stop Krimson 35, will her periods become irregular again?
