I've got a 12cm fibroid in my uterus, and Im really worried about having to go through surgery. Are there any medicines or other treatments out there that could help shrink it instead?

I'm dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI. _Follicle Size_ 1. _Ideal size_: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range. 2. _Monitoring_: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI. _Endometrium Thickness_ 1. _Ideal thickness_: 6-10 mm for IUI. 2. _Current thickness_: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range. 3. _Waiting for 16th day_: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow your doctor's advice_: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness. 2. _Continue monitoring follicle growth_: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI. 3. _Discuss trigger shot options_: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation. Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!

I'm currently one month pregnant, but I'm not ready for that now and I'm thinking about abortion. I've heard stories about how certain pills might affect my ability to get pregnant later on, and it's got me really worried. Is that true? If not, what are the options? Also, I tried eating papaya and pineapple and even took hot showers, but nothing seems to work. Can you give me some advice?

You can consider using the medicine Mankind's Unwanted Kit for medical abortion. It contains a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol which are effective in terminating early pregnancies. However, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration of these medications.
