What causes baby acne? My three-week-old has baby acne all over his face, ears, head, and chest, and it’s getting worse by the day! His doctor says it’ll go away on its own. Is there a treatment? —LaurenThis is such a common concern that at the two-week well visit, I usually warn parents in a little schpiel I give about things that might show up that shouldn’t alarm you. The short answer is: your doctor is right. Baby acne usually goes away on its own, and most of the time, no treatment is needed.

First, for background, AMH is produced by the small developing eggs in the ovary that potentially can be ovulated.

I had my first IVF transfer a few days ago, and the fertility clinic, along with several other online sources, says to refrain from intercourse or orgasm for anywhere from five days to “at least two weeks.” I have no history of miscarriage, bleeding, or other complications, and I successfully carried my first child to term two years ago. How solid is the research behind this recommendation?

GLP-1s are everywhere -- what are the impacts on fertility? What if you get pregnant on one of them? What about breastfeeding? We've got data and (some) answers: https://t.co/aJiT0YHsWP
The fake AI citations in the MAHA report are obviously embarrassing. But worse is what this says about how they are evaluating the real studies -- so much work in this space is just garbage correlation-not-causation. I cannot imagine they are thinking about evidence quality.
