View allI'm 10 weeks pregnant but it doesn't really feel like it. I had a scan at 7 weeks and 4 days and everything looked good, but I'm really worried because I haven't had many pregnancy symptoms. Is this normal? Can you help me understand what's going on?
Not experiencing noticeable pregnancy symptoms, also known as a "quiet pregnancy," is relatively common, affecting up to 50% of women; given your 7-week scan showed everything was fine, and you're only 10 weeks along, try to stay calm and focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but to alleviate concerns, consider discussing your symptoms (or lack thereof) with your healthcare provider or obstetrician.

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I just found out that the yolk sac is measuring 7.8 mm in diameter. I'm a bit worried about what this means for my pregnancy. Is this something I should be concerned about, and is there a chance the yolk sac size can return to normal?
A yolk sac diameter of 7-8 mm at 7 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy is slightly larger than expected, as the normal diameter is usually around 3-5 mm by the sixth week. This could potentially indicate a problem with the pregnancy, such as an early sign of miscarriage. However, it's essential to note that a single ultrasound measurement is not conclusive, and your healthcare provider may recommend a follow-up ultrasound to reassess the yolk sac size and check for any other signs of a healthy pregnancy. consult gynaecologist

Is it ok to not have my period for 100 days?
The absence of a period for 100 days or more is considered abnormal unless you're pregnant, breastfeeding or going through menopause (which generally occurs between ages 45 and 55). you need to consult a gynaecologist to rule out underlying cause.
