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.

I'm wondering if a TSH level of 12.20 Micro IUmL is considered normal or high? If it is high, how many micrograms should a 33-year-old woman take to manage it? Could you give me some guidance?

Elevated Bilirubin and Liver Enzymes _Interpretation_ 1. _Total Bilirubin_: Above 1.5 mgdL is mildly elevated. 2. _SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT)_: Above 50 UL is mildly elevated. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Liver inflammation_: Mild elevation in liver enzymes can indicate liver inflammation. 2. _Bile duct obstruction_: Elevated bilirubin can indicate bile duct obstruction or liver dysfunction. 3. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications can cause elevated liver enzymes. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, or autoimmune hepatitis. _Recommendations_ 1. _Repeat tests_: Repeat liver function tests (LFTs) and bilirubin levels to confirm the elevations. 2. _Imaging studies_: Consider ultrasound or MRI of the liver and bile ducts to rule out obstruction or structural abnormalities. 3. _Autoimmune and viral markers_: Test for autoimmune hepatitis and viral hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis B and C) to rule out underlying infections. 4. _Medication review_: Review your medications with your doctor to determine if any are contributing to the elevated liver enzymes. 5. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. _Quantity Follow-Up_ 1. _Regular monitoring_: Regularly monitor your LFTs and bilirubin levels to track any changes. 2. _Adjust frequency_: Adjust the frequency of follow-up appointments based on the stability of your test results.

How is diabetes developed or gotten?

Exact cause is unknown but most appreciated hypothesis is either low insulin or insulin resistance due to genetic +/- environmental factors.

I've had hard lumps in my chest since I was a kid, and I recently read online that it could be gynecomastia or just chest fat. I'm really confused and worried about this. How can I tell if it's actually gynecomastia or just chest fat? Also, is there any way to treat gynecomastia naturally? I'm really stressed about this because surgery and pills seem way too expensive for me. I feel embarrassed around my friends and it's affecting my mood. Can you give me some advice?
