I'm dealing with some pretty heavy and long-lasting bleeding because of my PCOS, and my gynecologist recommended I start taking Diane35 tablets. I'm on my second strip of pills now, and I typically begin with the first tablet in the pack from the fifth day of my period, and then I wait for my cycle to start again once I finish the strip. I've been doing regular walking exercisesabout 45 to 60 minutes, five times a week. But I've noticed that my weight has gone up by 2 kgs in the last two monthsfrom 68 to 70 kgs. My height is 5'4". Could Diane35 be causing this weight gain?

Weight gain can be a side effect of Diane-35, although it does not happen to everyone. It is important to monitor your weight regularly and discuss any concerns with your gynecologist. In the meantime, continue with your regular walking exercise routine as it is beneficial for your overall health.

View allI'm a little concerned about my beta hCG levels. I had my last menstrual period on September 19, and I ovulated around October 5. I just got my beta hCG test results back, and they came in at 558 mIUmL on the 34th day since my LMP. Is this normal? Should I be worried or is everything okay with these numbers?
Your beta-hCG result of 558 mIUmL is normal for this stage of pregnancy. If you're concerned or experiencing symptoms (e.g., spotting, cramping), or if youre unsure about the results, its best to follow up with your doctor for further guidance or a follow-up blood test to check how the levels are rising. An ultrasound can also provide a more accurate assessment of the pregnancy's progress.

I'm worried because I was 3 weeks pregnant and took the abortion pills prescribed by my gynecologist, but I've been told my womb wasn't cleaned out properly. Can you tell me how much it might cost to get my womb cleaned up?
Depends on various factors such as the healthcare facility, location, and specific procedures required. The cost can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. You may need to undergo a procedure called a dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus. Your doctor may prescribe medications such as Misoprostol to help with the process. It is important to follow up with your gynecologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and went for my NT scan today. The ultrasound tech told me my baby's not in the right position to see its face. She tried twice with a 10-minute break in between, but it still didn't work. She said I should come back in the evening and if we still can't see anything, try again in a couple of days. She mentioned sometimes the baby's position isn't ideal for the scan, so it might take a few tries. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
-It's completely normal for the baby to be in a position that makes it difficult to get the right angle for the NT scan. Babies move around a lot, especially early on, so it may take a few tries to get the correct position. Don't worry, the ultrasound tec
