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

My mom was just diagnosed with a grossly enlarged uterus and an intramural fibroid, plus her hemoglobin is at 5. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other options we can explore? We're really worried and want to understand all possible treatments.

No, surgery isn't always the only way to treat an enlarged uterus and intramural fibroids, even with low hemoglobin. There are several non-surgical options available, including medication and procedures like uterine artery embolization, depending on the severity and individual needs. Surgery, such as myomectomy or hysterectomy, may be necessary in some cases, but it's not always the first or only choice.

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,
