I'm a bit anxious about my pregnancy because I had a miscarriage back in February. Now my doctor has suggested taking Susten SR 400 mg in the early stages of this pregnancy. I'm already taking Folvec, Ecosprin 75, and some vitamins. Is it really safe to take this high dosage of Susten SR right now?

Susten SR 400 mg is a high dose of progesterone, typically recommended for women with a history of miscarriage or preterm labor, and while it's generally considered safe, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance and monitoring, especially when combined with other medications like Folvac, Ecosprin 75, and vitamins, to minimize potential risks and ensure a healthy pregnancy

I'm experiencing this strange feeling in my mouth; it's like the skin is tightening and my tongue feels really sensitive. Could this be some kind of infection from having oral sex, especially if my partner has a UTI or an STD?

The sensation of skin tightening and a sensitive tongue could be due to a variety of causes, including irritation, allergic reactions, or infections. While some STDs can affect the mouth, such as oral herpes or syphilis, a UTI is unlikely to cause these symptoms. Its best to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
