I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm a bit worried because I did two beta HCG tests 48 hours apart, but the numbers didn't double. I also had a vaginal scan that showed the yolk sac, but they couldn't see the fetal pole yet. My cervix length is 3.5 cm and they mentioned a single intrauterine gestation with an MSD of 5.9 mm. Im just really anxious to knowdoes this mean I'm pregnant or not?

Yes, you are pregnant, as a yolk sac and a single intrauterine gestation have been visualized. However, the absence of a fetal pole and a suboptimal rise in beta HCG may indicate a need for close follow-up. A repeat scan in 7-10 days is recommended to confirm viability and check for the fetal pole.

Question

I'm really worried and need my period to start right away. Is there any medicine you can suggest that might make it happen within a day?

I'm a bit confused about taking Krimson 35. I finished my pack, and on the 4th or 5th day afterward, I got my period. Should I start taking Krimson on the first day of my period, or do I need to wait for seven days to start again? I'm just trying to make sure I get the timing right.

Question

I'm 6 months pregnant and my gynecologist mentioned getting a cervical cerclage because I've had previous abortions. I've been having stomach and groin pain. I also had an ASD device closure in October 2020 and am currently taking Ecosprin 75. Do you think it's safe for me to proceed with the cervical cerclage? Could there be any complications I should be aware of?
