Menstruation and Pregnancy

Thought I had a miscarriage, ultrasound showed that I didn’t, please advise?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hello – I am currently 5 weeks 4 days pregnant. Over the weekend I had a scare, and thought I had a miscarriage. However, the ultrasound showed that I didn’t. I did a beta three days ago, and my result was 17,243 and today I did a beta and the result is 31,988 with a doubling time of 78 hours. At this stage of the pregnancy, I read that beta numbers slow down. My beta numbers were doubling very fast last week and until 5 weeks 1 day. Are my current numbers (doubling at a rate of 78 hours) ok for week five? Or does it have to be exactly every 48-72 hours? thank you.

Did I have a miscarriage or is it a normal period?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hello,

Im a 25 year old and I had my period which began last Monday and normally lasts around 4 days. by Friday it was completely gone and I only had that small amount of brown blood .. I had severe lower back pain this whole time. period is always painful so didn’t think too much of it, however on Monday I went to the bathroom and there was a bloodclot the size of a pea. It was bright red surrounded by a minimal amount of blood.
I had nausea around my ovulation window and was throwing up for 2 days which I assumed was a stomach bug. I also had extremely swollen breasts which are common to me when my period is coming,, however this time my nipples were sickly sore and my breasts had large blue veins.

does this sound like a miscarriage or just a period?

thank you

Hello I did IVF (2 embroys) and I am now almost 4 weeks pregnant (counting from the first day of my last period). My first beta 8 days post 5day transfer was 167, and my second one, 12day post 5day transfer is 1480 – a doubling time of 38 hours. Is this ok? Or does it have to be between 48 hours to 72 hours to be normal? Thank you.

I didn’t really have a period this month, could this be a sign and symptom of hiv?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

My period was very spotty this month/I didn’t really have one and my period has always been regular. Could this be a sign and symptom of hiv (I’m not pregnant). I just got a yearly TB test at the hospital I work at and I never saw the LVN draw up the medicine into the syringe to inject in me. So now I’m wondering if she used a dirty needle. Three weeks after my TB test I broke out with a cold sore. I don’t know if it’s just wrong ytiming I mean I usually get cold sores maybe 1-3 times a year since I was a child. I didn’t think anything of the cold sore until my period got all goofed up. Please help! Thanks!

I have had 2 cardiac ablations, can pregnancy cause any issues?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

I have had 2 cardiac ablations and although not 100% successful, my symptoms are not as frequent nor as aggressive. However I have just found out I am.pregnant and am wondering if this could cause any issues for me. My last 2 pregnancies (before diagnosis and surgeries) seemed to trigger the palpitations quite aggressively.



Tested negative recently for pregnancy. So, does that mean I’m not pregnant?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Over five weeks ago I had unprotected sex. Tested negative recently for pregnancy. So, does that mean I’m not pregnant? I’ve tested multiple times with different brands and they are all negative. Shouldn’t it show up by now? I just would like to know to put myself at ease. I have an irregular period so I can’t go off that.

I have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for about 5 months now, is my body rejecting it?

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Hi. I am 25 years old and have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for about 5 months now. Before that I had a total of 3 Nexplanons over the course of 8 years and got it removed due to bad side effects. My OB told me my body was probably just rejecting it due to the fact I had so many and wanted to put me on the pill for awhile. I have had semi-normal periods for the past 3 months or so. I took an entire pack of pills and then had an event coming up and wanted to skip my period so started my next pack and took 8 pills. I stopped the pack thinking it was time to have a period. I had unprotected sex 4 times right around the time I was supposed to be ovulating. I take my pill every day around the same time for the most part. I have now been of the pill waiting for my period to start for one week now and nothing. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, it was one of the cheap tests though that do not give results before a missed period. Because I have skipped my period I am not sure when my expected period is supposed to start. I have a 7 year old daughter so I have been pregnant before. I am having some strange side effects though. Besides no bleeding I have had headaches on and off multiple times a day, a little bit of confusion, and diarrhea multiple times a day. My basal body temp usually falls somewhere around 97.6% and my temperature has been elevated to about 98.7% for the past 4 days now. I have had some lower back pain and neck tension but nothing severe. I also feel extremely bloated. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Not sure if I should wait a little bit longer and take another pregnancy test or if maybe this is due to a hormonal imbalance since I was trying to manipulate my period. (never doing that again). I know normally any time I accidently miss a pill or I stop taking the pill I start feeling crampy and at least start spotting if not bleeding and like I said, none of that and its been a week. Thank you!

I recently found out I was pregnant after my menstrual cycle didn’t start, is this an ectopic pregnancy?

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

I recently found out I was pregnant after my menstrual cycle didn’t start.

The start date of my last period wasn’t July 31st, and had unprotected sex on the August 19th.
I took two pregnancy tests on September 1st, and morning of the Sept 2nd that confirmed indeed I was pregnant.

Symptoms:
breasts are tender/swollen
mild dull achy pain on the left hand side (somewhat lower) of my back
dizziness lasting up to two hours multiple times throuout the day
Nausea
Mild Achy pain in my left shoulder
Moderate/severe achy pain radiating in my left thigh
Distended lower abdomen
Extreme fatigue
Mild abdomen cramping

I am not spotting.
I did have a manual vacuum aspiration abortion 5 years ago.
I have had an STI on the past two years.

My concern is that this is an ectopic pregnancy, but I can’t tell if I’m overreacting or not.

With those symptoms should I go to the Emergency room?

Hello, I was wondering if a virgin (never been touched or broke the hymen) can get pregnant because I fooled around with my fiance and he ejaculated of my vagina but even though an intercourse never happened I’m just scared that I might get pregnant because I’ve been having cramps and my period is in 8 days so my question is can a virgin get pregnant? Thank you
