I'm trying to get pregnant but I'm dealing with a prolactin level of 37 and an AMH level of 1.46. I've taken medication for the prolactin issue, and there were 4 pills involved. Do you think I can still get pregnant? I'm also on letrozole and duphaston at the moment. My doctor mentioned IUI as a possibility, but I'm feeling really confused about what to do next. Any advice?

You're on the right track with the treatment your doctor has prescribed. Fertility can be complex, but with the right medication and procedures, your chances of pregnancy can significantly improve. It's natural to feel a bit confused, but trust your doctors guidance and continue with the treatment plan.

I'm a 19-year-old guy, and I'm about 5'4". I've been looking into ways to grow taller and came across something called SBL Rite-Hite. I'm curious about how I should be taking it. Could you suggest the right dosage for me? Also, any tips on how I can increase my height at this age would be really helpful.

For height growth, consider ORTHOPAEDICIAN before taking any supplements like SBL Right Hite; however, here are some general tips to support height growth: maintain a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, exercise regularly, focusing on stretching and strengthening exercises like yoga or Pilates, get adequate sleep (7-9 hours), manage stress, and consider incorporating height-promoting nutrients like zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B12 into your diet.

Thyroid surgery is needed for large goiters or cancer; recovery takes 2–3 weeks—follow meds, rest, and avoid strain.
