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

Why do fibroids cause heavy periods?

Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.

I'm really worried because I have a white liquid discharge coming from one of my breasts when I squeeze my nipple, but it's not happening in my other breast. The fact that it's only on one side is making me anxious. I've been dealing with a viral fever for a week and have been taking different tablets, but nothing seems to help much. Could the discharge be a side effect of the medications? I've also been constipated for four days. I'm really concerned about whether this could be cancer. My breasts have always been a bit hard and small, unlike others, but they've been that way for as long as I can remember. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be worried about cancer or something else?
