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 19 years old and I've noticed I still don't have hair growing on my chest or a beard. I'm wondering if my puberty has ended or not. Also, is there a way to increase my penis size with any products from the market or through exercises? I'd appreciate your advice on this.

Delayed puberty is possible, and it's essential to consult an endocrinologist to assess your hormone levels and determine if your puberty is complete; regarding penis size, there's no scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of market products or exercises in increasing size permanently; focus on a healthy lifestyle, and consider consulting a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
