View allI'm a bit worried about my grandma who's 84. She's been taking Cordarone 200mg since June for her heart issues. But recently, during a health checkup, they found her thyroid levels to be really high, like 30.91H. They've put her on medication for that too. Is it safe for her to keep taking Cordarone with this thyroid issue?

I'm a 30-year-old woman and just found out from my tests that my prolactin levels are really high. I'm unmarried and honestly, I'm a bit worried about what this might mean. Is this something serious I should be concerned about? Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I'm really struggling to understand why I'm not getting pregnant after trying for the last 6 months. I've already got a 6-year-old son and was told I have PCOS. Since December 2015, my periods have been delayed by 2 to 3 months, and even though all my test reports came back normal, I haven't been able to conceive. Last cycle, I did follicular monitoring, and my egg ruptured, but I'm still not having any success. What else could be going on, and what should I try next?
It's understandable that trying to conceive with PCOS can be challenging, especially when your periods are irregular. Since your follicular monitoring showed a ruptured egg, it indicates ovulation is happening, but there might be other factors influencing conception. Continue working closely with your fertility specialist for the best approach moving forward.
