Does posterior placenta mean boy?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

No, the position of placenta doesn't determine gender of a baby.

Consult a Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

  1. Correlation Between Placental Position and Baby's Gender:

    • There is no scientifically proven correlation between having a posterior placenta and the baby's gender being male.
    • The baby's gender is determined by chromosomes at conception.
  2. Placental Position:

    • Placental location (anterior, posterior, fundal, etc.) varies naturally among pregnancies.
    • It is influenced by factors related to implantation and uterine anatomy.
  3. Ultrasound and Gender Prediction:

    • Ultrasound can identify placental position but cannot predict gender based on it.

Recommendation:

  • If you have concerns about your pregnancy or placental position, consult your healthcare provider for personalized information and reassurance.

I've been on Deviry for 5 days, and it's now the 10th day since I finished taking it, but I still haven't gotten my period. Normally, I'd have my period by the 7th day after finishing Deviry. Is there any reason why it might be delayed this time?

The delayed periods could be due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, stress, thyroid issues, or underlying medical conditions. I would recommend consulting with your doctor to evaluate the cause of the delayed periods.

I have a 4.4cm functional follicular cyst on my left ovary with benign features but my periods have been irregular and frequent happening twice recently Will this cyst resolve on its own or do I need surgery

A functional follicular cyst of this size is likely to resolve on its own. It's common for them to disappear within a few months, and your doctor may recommend a "wait-and-see" approach with a follow-up ultrasound to monitor its size. If the cyst doesn't resolve or if you experience symptoms like pain or pelvic fullness, surgery might be considered. Surgery is also recommended if the cyst is very large or if there's suspicion of a more complex cyst
