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.

my mom is 47 and has an 80mm colloid nodular goitre should she get surgery for it and are there any risks involved with the procedure

A colloid nodular goiter of 80mm (8 centimeters) in a 47-year-old woman may be a good candidate for surgery, especially if it causes symptoms or grows rapidly. However, the decision to proceed with surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by a qualified endocrinologist or surgeon, considering the individual's specific situation, medical history, and potential risks
