When you hear the words Alzheimer's disease, what do you think of? The truth is, the picture most of us have of the disease is incomplete.

We challenge long-held beliefs about fibroids, highlight new ectopic pregnancy nuances, and dig into real-world dermoid cyst outcomes. We also unpack the evidence and ethics of 39-week induction after IVF and ICSI, balancing small absolute risks with maternal tradeoffs.
• Evidence overturning links between fibroids and miscarriage, PROM and abruption
• Distinguishing spontaneous versus iatrogenic preterm birth in fibroid pregnancies
• Why myomectomy can raise early delivery and cesarean rates in some patients
• Ectopic care updates: tube-sparing choices, HCG thresholds, two-dose methotrexate
• Experimental adjuncts to methotrexate remain unproven
• Dermoid data supporting laparoscopy, irrigation, and specimen bags over open surgery
• Surgical decision making during pregnancy and avoiding uterine manipulators
• IVF and ICSI timing: late stillbirth risk signals, limits of testing, 39-week logic
• Shared decision making when absolute risks are low but values differ
