I've started using Thrive by LeVel and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm really wondering if it's okay to keep using it since my first prenatal visit isn't for another two weeks. One of my friends asked her OB, who said it's fine, but she's also promoting the product, so I'm hoping to get another perspective. Is it truly safe to use while pregnant?

No I wouldn't advise you to continue with THRIVE during your pregnancy as it is used as a weight loss nutrition. I would advise you to avoid this product during your pregnancy and also have the supplements which will be prescribed by your obstetrician(iron, folic acid) and also have a well balanced diet during your pregnancy for a healthy baby.

I'm 33 weeks along in my pregnancy and I've had a high fever and cold for the past two days. Is it okay to take Dolo 650 in the third trimester? I'm really concerned about the safety for me and my baby. Would love your advice.

I'm 29 and married, dealing with PCOD. I'm not on any treatment at the moment, but my periods have been irregular and I haven't had one since February. I'm trying to lose weight but haven't seen much progress. I'm feeling really stressed about all this. What should I do?

Considering your PCOD, irregular periods, and weight loss struggles, consult a gynecologist or an endocrinologist to discuss a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include hormonal medications, fertility treatments, and lifestyle modifications, such as a personalized diet and exercise plan, stress management techniques, and possibly medications like Metformin to regulate your menstrual cycle and improve insulin sensitivity
