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?

I'm wondering about a follicle size that's 30x30mm with a small amount of free fluid on the 16th day does that mean it's a follicle or could it be a cyst? I've been on CCQ medication, and my periods have always been regular, so I haven't had PCOD or cyst issues before. Has anyone had a similar experience and conceived successfully with these numbers?

-A 30x30mm follicle size on day 16 is quite large, but it could still be a mature follicle ready to ovulate, especially with minimal free fluid. It's unlikely to be a cyst unless it's irregular in shape or causing symptoms. Since you're on CCQ medication

I'm taking Cyclenorm E and P for three days, with six tablets each. Do you know how long it usually takes for my period to start after this? I'm a bit anxious and curious about the timeline.

Taking Cyclenorm E and P for 3 days (6 tablets each) can help regulate your menstrual cycle. Your periods are likely to start within 1-2 days after finishing the course of medication. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage as directed by your healthcare provider.
