I've recently stopped taking Lefno about 45 days ago, and now I've found out I'm pregnant. Is it safe to continue with this pregnancy? This baby really means a lot to us, especially after multiple miscarriages and a stillbirth. I also have diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid issues. Can you help me understand the risks or precautions I should be aware of?

I'm experiencing an odd itching feeling inside my cervix, especially after I pee. It feels like there's something else that needs to come out, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Could this be a sign of something I should be worried about? What could be causing it, and what should I do to get some relief?
The symptoms you're describing, including tickling, itching inside the cervix, and a sensation of incomplete urination, could be indicative of a cervical or urinary tract issue, such as cervical inflammation, vaginitis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI); consider consulting a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the best course of treatment.
