I'm curious about the possibility of using papaya for an abortion at home. Specifically, how many weeks into a pregnancy could this method be an option? I'm looking for some detailed guidance on this, as I'm trying to understand my options better.

Using papaya for abortion is not safe or recommended, as it can lead to severe complications such as infection, bleeding, or incomplete abortion. Abortion should only be performed under medical supervision within the legal time frame, typically up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, depending on the country. Please consult a healthcare professional for guidance and support.

I recently had an ultrasound that showed fibroids around 5.4 cm by 4.3 cm and also a gallbladder stone. My doctor recommended surgery, but I don't have any symptoms right now can I delay the procedure for now? Also, could these fibroids affect my chances of getting pregnant in the future? What vitamins or supplements might help with hormone imbalance related to PCOS and thyroid issues?
