I'm currently 4 months pregnant and just found out I have COVID-19, tested positive on July 19th. I've got a stuffy nose and chest pain, but my oxygen levels are around 96 to 97. How long do you think it'll take for my nose congestion to clear up? Are there any tests I should be doing right now?

I'm a pathologist and currently pregnant. I've had a 7-week ultrasound which showed a fetal heartbeat at 108 beats per minute and the baby's length is 6mm. From what I know, this all seems normal, but I'm aware that hCG is a schedule X drug. Given my situation, should I consider getting hCG injections?

If you suspect you've taken a double dose of EBAS 20, contact your doctor or pharmacist immediately for guidance.

I've been diagnosed with a 2.2x1.5cm posterior wall intramural fibroid and my endometrial thickness is 5mm. Do I need surgery for this? Could it affect my chances of getting pregnant? Are there any medications that can completely treat it?

Intramural fibroids may affect fertility but surgery is usually only needed if they cause symptoms or failed conception; medicines like GnRH analogs may help shrink them.
