I'm really confused right now. My pregnancy test came back negative after doing IUI, but I still haven't gotten my period. Should I stop taking progesterone, or is there something else I should consider?

If your pregnancy test is negative after IUI and your periods have not started, it is safe to stop taking progesterone. Progesterone is usually prescribed to support early pregnancy, so if you are not pregnant, there is no need to continue taking it.

Whats the best medication to help bring down high triglyceride levels if theyre over 800? I also have type 2 diabetes. What would you suggest I do?

For high triglycerides above 800 and type 2 diabetes, I recommend starting with a combination of Fenofibrate (Tricor) 145mg once daily and Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily. These medications are effective in lowering triglyceride levels and managing cholesterol in patients with diabetes. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise are also important in managing these conditions.

I'm a 26-year-old guy from Bangalore and I think I might have gynecomastia. I've been hitting the gym for the last 6 months but not seeing proper muscle growth. I'm not overweight but my beard growth is patchy and my chest looks bigger than it should. Could this be low testosterone? I'd prefer non-surgical options can you suggest what medications might help and recommend a good doctor in Bangalore to check my condition?

It's possible you have gynecomastia, which can be caused by hormonal imbalances or certain medications. While low testosterone can be a factor, it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can measure hormone levels and rule out other causes
