Question

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and recently had my level 2 scan which showed an echogenic focus in the left ventricle. They found another echogenic focus measuring 3.5mm during a fetal echo. I've been trying to conceive for 5 years and finally succeeded with IVF, so I'm really stressed about this. Is this something serious? Can you help me understand what this means?

Question

I'm looking at my wife's ultrasound report of her lower abdomen, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions that both her ovaries are showing a PCO pattern. Can you help me understand what this means? Also, it says there's no abnormal solid or cystic lesion seen, and both RO and LO measure 33x18mm. Should I be worried about any of this? What does the measurement indicate?

Question

I'm really concerned because I took an abortion pill yesterday and now I'm experiencing really heavy bleeding and a headache. I'm feeling incredibly weak, and it's only a 2-week pregnancy. Is this normal, or should I be worried about these symptoms? What should I do?
