What causes hair fall, skin infections, and overweight?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As Addyzoa is an ayurvedic drug, a herbo-mineral formulation. There are no safety trials reported with it in pregnancy. However, the dose was taken at 23 weeks when organogenesis (formation of different organs) has already taken place, the chance of any birth defects due to this incident will be very low..

Why is there brown spotting at 7th week of IVF pregnancy?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I can totally understand your concerns, But the good points are that the ultrasound has established a pregnancy and secondly, there are no worrying features. Your obstetrician was correct in stopping Ecosprin and starting intramuscular Progesterone. It looks like old bood rather than fresh. I will suggest wait and watch strategy and hopefully, it will clear.

Please suggest me the best option to remove fibroids.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), I understood that you have multiple fibroids, mainly intramural and subserosal and a submucosal one that is inside the cavity. All the other fibroids can be shrunken with medicines, but not the submucosal one. So, I will prefer a surgery known as hysteroscopic myomectomy for it. This will definitely reduce bleeding.

Is it possible to prepone periods?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I do understand that when we want our periods to be earlier rather than later. But unfortunately delaying cycles is usually better. If you have 28 days cycles then this month your cycles will start on the expected date. But, if you have 30 or more days cycles I will suggest starting tablet Meprate (Progestin) 10 mg twice daily from two days before the expected date till the day you do not want your periods.

Will hypothyroidism affect future pregnancy?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for entrusting me with such an important decision in your life. Hypothyroidism if well controlled has fewer chances of pregnancy complications. If uncontrolled it is associated with pre-eclampsia, preterm labor. But as she is on 75 dose, it can be further increased to 100 or 125 mcg under an endocrinologist observation.
