I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test that showed my glucose level is 160. I'm worried if this is normal for pregnancy or if it could cause any problems. Can you provide some guidance on this?

Ive been told to take gynaset twice a day for five days to trigger my period. If I stop taking it, will I get my period right away? Im planning to travel on the 18th and started the medication on the 5th. Will my period be finished by the time I need to leave, or should I keep taking the gynaset until my trip is over to push back the period? Could use some advice!

Periods are expected to start 2-7 days after stopping these tablets. In order to be sure to avoid periods during travel, you can take the tablets till the day of travel or until the day you complete your travel.

I've been noticing some vaginal discharge about 10 days after my periods. It's sometimes transparent, other times white, and has a bit of a smell. I don't have any pain or itching, so I'm not sure what this could mean. Should I be concerned about this?
