I am currently 6 days 4 weeks pregnant with a beta hCG level of 45,000. My ultrasound showed a fetal pole and heartbeat, but my progesterone level has dropped from 51 to 31 despite taking 400mg vaginal suppositories twice a day and 200mg oral progesterone once a day. I have PCOS and was on metformin before pregnancy. Could metformin be causing the drop in progesterone? Should I increase the suppositories to 400mg vaginally three times a day or start injections? Could this drop indicate an impending miscarriage?

I am lactose intolerant but I am using Florestor probiotic (2 pills). Why do I still get bloating when I eat yogurt despite using the pills? Also, is there any possibility that I would be able to eat dairy products at 28 years old?

I have had a headache for 5 days, which is unusual for me. I took Advil for 2 days but it didn't help. The headache is located in my forehead and feels like someone is pulling it or like I'm constantly raising my eyebrows. I also recently lost and found my glasses. I'm worried about the severity and potential causes of this headache. What could be causing it and what should I do?

I got a rapid HIV test 10 weeks after my last unprotected vaginal sex, which came back negative. I've been experiencing symptoms like strep throat, fever, night sweats, and white plaques on my tongue, which I initially thought were HIV symptoms. I'm worried and want to know if I can trust the 10-week rapid HIV test (3rd generation) result, especially since I've been sick again. I also did a 4th generation lab test, but the results are not yet available. Should I trust the 10-week test result, and if my symptoms are related to acute HIV infection, wouldn't the test have picked it up?
