Can you still have PCOS even if your periods are regular? Is there a risk of infertility in this situation? Should I be taking any medication for my acne? My DHT levels are normal, but my ultrasound shows bilateral polycystic ovaries. Is this different from PCOS? I'm worried about starting cytomid because of its side effects and considering I don't even have high DHT. Can you help me with these concerns about medication and PCO?

I'm four days past my embryo transfer and still not feeling any symptoms. Is this normal? I've been really careful about taking my meds and going for walks. Shouldn't I be experiencing something by now? Can you give me some insight into what's going on?
No question is stupid when it comes to health concerns. _Can an ant enter the vagina?_ 1. _Possible but rare_: While it's unlikely, an ant can potentially enter the vagina if it's present in the genital area. 2. _Vaginal anatomy_: The vagina has a narrow opening and a self-cleaning mechanism, making it difficult for ants to enter. _Possible effects if an ant enters the vagina_ 1. _Discomfort or itching_: You might experience mild discomfort, itching, or a crawling sensation. 2. _Infection risk_: If the ant carries bacteria, there's a small risk of infection, such as bacterial vaginosis. 3. _Allergic reaction_: Some people might be allergic to ant venom, which could cause an allergic reaction. _What to do if you suspect an ant has entered your vagina_ 1. _Stay calm_: Panicking can increase discomfort. 2. _Take a warm bath_: Soaking in a warm bath can help relax the muscles and potentially flush out the ant. 3. _Avoid using harsh products_: Refrain from using scented soaps, douches, or other products that can disrupt vaginal pH. 4. _Consult a healthcare provider_: If you experience persistent discomfort, itching, or suspect an infection, consult a healthcare provider for guidance. Remember, it's highly unlikely for an ant to enter the vagina, and most cases resolve on their own without complications.

I'm 24 years old and my height is 5.7. I'm really curious to know if it's still possible for me to grow taller at this age. If there's a way to increase my height, could you please explain how it might be possible?
At 24, your growth plates have likely closed, making natural height increase unlikely
