I'm really worried about this situation. I've been dealing with PCOD, and my weight keeps going upI'm currently 63 kg and I'm 5 feet tall. Could having a physical relationship actually help with this? And if so, should protection be used or is it okay to not use any? Also, in case we don't use protection, should I be taking birth control pills afterwards, or can I take them just to help regulate my menstrual cycle, even without having sex?

Physical relationship is not a direct cure for PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Disorder), but regular sexual activity can help regulate menstrual cycles and improve hormonal balance; however, it's crucial to practice safe sex using protection to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Regarding birth control pills, they can be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and improve symptoms of PCOD, regardless of sexual activity; your partner's healthcare provider can guide her on the best course of treatment and recommend suitable birth control options.

View allI'm a little concerned about my beta hCG levels. I had my last menstrual period on September 19, and I ovulated around October 5. I just got my beta hCG test results back, and they came in at 558 mIUmL on the 34th day since my LMP. Is this normal? Should I be worried or is everything okay with these numbers?
Your beta-hCG result of 558 mIUmL is normal for this stage of pregnancy. If you're concerned or experiencing symptoms (e.g., spotting, cramping), or if youre unsure about the results, its best to follow up with your doctor for further guidance or a follow-up blood test to check how the levels are rising. An ultrasound can also provide a more accurate assessment of the pregnancy's progress.

I'm kind of worried because I missed my period. My last one started on March 3rd and I took a home pregnancy test on April 5th, which came out positive. I also got a BETA HCG test the same day and the levels were at 309.1 mIUml. Can you let me know if these results definitely mean that I'm pregnant? And if so, is there any indication from the HCG levels about whether it's a healthy pregnancy?
Your pregnancy test results are positive. In order to determine whether it is a healthy pregnancy, you will have to consult an obstetrician and undergo a panel of antenatal blood tests and scans.
