Spotting

Hi, I stared the HCG diet 10 days ago using the drops. I also am trying to have a baby so I had sex three times during the week of ovulation. Last period was on January 8. I have had pregnancy symptoms, five positive pregnancy tests, no period. I did have some spotting but it was brown which makes me think that I am pregnant. I am not sure if it is the HCG drops causing a false positive test. Last night I put some of the drops on a pregnancy test and it was a faint positive. My dr. recommended a blood test and then another 48 hours later. I have poor insurance coverage as I am a business owner, and I don't want to spend the money on the blood tests this early. I usually have a 28-31 day cycle. I am thinking of just waiting a couple of weeks, I live a healthy lifestyle. Advice, sorry to ramble on. Jaclyn

Hi Jaclyn!! your issues as to whether the test for pregnancy is actually positive or not are actually confirmed by the serum beta hcg which if doubles in 48 hours means a viable and growing pregnancy. please get the blood tests for the pregnancy done as told. Also ,i hope you had rhogam after in your 1st pregnancy and after the miscarriage. Also your previous pregnancy with history of incompetent os means that this condition is likely to happen again so go in for prophylactic encirclage of the ...

I just turned 57 yrs old. I had periods until Sept 2012 with spotting each month through Dec 2012 then nothing until October 2013, had a light period that lasted about a week, cramps, tender breasts etc. Had spotting this month Nov 2013 also with tender breasts. Had hot flashes while I wasn't having periods but those went away since I started having periods again. I also was having huge amounts of cervical mucous that strands all the way into the toilet at times. I was checked a couple years ago and the Dr noted the large amount of clear mucous but no ideas. The huge amount of mucous is back. Is this normal? I know I'm a late peri-menopause. I do carry too much belly fat and was wondering if I might have PCOS or something? Any certain tests that should be done?

Yes, I suggest that a workup done to investigate why you still have bleeding, if this is still menstrual period or post-menopausal bleeding. Please have a transvaginal ultrasound done. If endometrial stripe is thick, you may discuss with your gynecologist if endometrial biopsy is warranted. ...

I had spotting at 33 weeks gestation and doctor gave Betnesol 12mg IV x 3 dose and Vitamine K 10mg 1 dose. Can you please let me know the effect of these injections on the baby? I have seen some negative effects on the baby online. Can you please let me know if it has some effects on the baby?

Betnasol is given in only 2 doses and vik K is definitely not required. As u have already taken it, it wont harm u or ur baby in any way. If u look for side effects of any drug it lists many on internet. But these are extremely rare. Medicines which u received are very safe. But please change ur gynacologist as he doesnt know the dose of commonly prescribed drug. ...

I had an abortion 7 weeks ago. I have not been sexually active since the abortion so I know I am not pregnant. I also went back to the clinic two weeks later for an ultrasound and my uterus was clear and the abortion worked. I also took pregnancy tests all were negative. I have the implanon implant inserted in my arm. Now my question is I haven't gotten a period just brown spotting on and off nothing heavy. Should I be concerned I am spotting brown? Also should I get a period at all since I am on the implanon birth control? (I had it previously and never got a period with it(.

With implanon you aare likely to get menses like spotting or even no menses for considerable period of time. Please call on my mobile no. if u have any more questions. ********** or "whatsapp" me ...

Hi. I took a TVS last mondat, and resulted that I am 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant of about 16.8mm by mean sac diameter. No fetal pole seen yet. I took alaxan fr, and light brown spotting, abdominal pain, lower back pain started until today. Is it a sign of miscarriage?

At 5 weeks and 1 day, it is very early to tell if this is a sign of miscarriage. Hopefully, the spotting is only from implantation bleeding, meaning, the embryo is just trying to attach to your uterus. Jushave a repeat transvaginal ultrasound after 2 weeks to establish the viability of your pregnancy. ...
