View allI'm a 19-year-old female with a small bust and I'm curious if estrogen pills actually work to increase breast size. I've seen articles saying they do but I'm not sure about their safety. Can you recommend any specific ones if they're effective and what side effects should I watch out for? I'd prefer not to get surgery and I'm 54 kg and 43 kg so I want something natural.

I accidentally took a double dose of my thyronorm 150 mcg today. What should I do about my next dose? Should I skip it, or is there something specific I should keep an eye out for? I'm a bit unsure about the next steps.

I'm a bit confused and a little worried about my blood sugar levels. My fasting blood sugar is 122, and my postprandial is 95. I always thought the postprandial level should be higher than the fasting one. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what treatment options would be best for me? Does this mean I'm diabetic or not? I would really appreciate some guidance on this.
