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.

_Diabetic Patient's Eligibility for Blood Donation_ Generally, diabetic patients can donate blood, but with certain conditions: _Eligibility Criteria:_ 1. *Controlled diabetes*: Your diabetes must be well-controlled through medication or diet. 2. *Stable medication*: You should be on a stable dose of medication for at least 3-6 months. 3. *No complications*: You should not have any diabetes-related complications, such as kidney disease, nerve damage, or vision problems. _Additional Considerations:_ 1. *Thyroid medication*: This is usually not a concern for blood donation. 2. *Cholesterol and blood pressure medication*: These are typically not a concern if your conditions are well-controlled. 3. *Obesity*: Your body mass index (BMI) will be assessed to ensure it's within a safe range for blood donation. _Blood Group O-ve:_ As an O-ve individual, you have a universal donor type, making your blood highly valuable for transfusions. _Next Steps:_ 1. Consult your doctor to confirm your eligibility for blood donation. 2. Contact a local blood bank or donation center to discuss your specific situation and schedule a donation appointment. Remember, the blood bank or donation center will perform a thorough medical screening before allowing you to donate blood.
