Yes. Lemon blocks the antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, hence normalizing an overactive thyroid.

My benign goiter in the left lobe of the thyroid was confirmed by FNAC in 2015. The recent USG from October 2017 shows it's grown to 3.6 cm by 2.4 cm compared to 1.8 cm by 2 cm in May 2015. Should I consider surgery now or is it okay to just monitor it with follow-ups every 6 months?

If your goiter has grown, surgery might be considered, especially if it‚Äôs affecting your breathing or swallowing. Regular follow-up every 6 months with an endocrinologist is advisable to monitor its progress.

I'm a bit confused and worried because my new doctor didn't give me progesterone after ovulation, which my previous doctors always did. I'm doing Timed IC this cycle and just had a trigger shot, and they've asked me to have intercourse for the next five days, but without progesterone. Is it still possible to conceive if I ovulated with letrozole but wasn't given progesterone?

conception is possible both with and without progesterone supplementation, but progesterone can help support early pregnancy. Be sure to stay in touch with your doctor and continue with your treatment as planned.
