A hemoglobin level of 9.1 might be too low for a planned fibroid surgery next week. It's generally considered safe to have a hemoglobin level of at least 10 g/dL before surgery to minimize complications related to blood loss, according to some medical sources. Raising hemoglobin levels quickly can be done by incorporating iron-rich foods into your diet, potentially taking iron supplements (with doctor's approval), and ensuring adequate vitamin B12 and folate intake, according to some healthcare websites.

View allI'm 45 days late and I've already done a few home pregnancy tests and even a blood pregnancy test within 30 days of missing my period, all of them were negative. The doctor gave me primolutn for 5 days, 3 times a day, and said I would get my periods in the next 5 days after finishing the pills, but it's been 9 days now and still nothing. I'm feeling really tired lately, my body aches, my breasts are super tender, and I've put on some weight that's not going away, plus lots of mood swings. I felt cramps a few times before I started the pills but no period or even spotting has happened yet, and I feel like I have a UTI because I'm peeing all the time. I'm supposed to see the doctor after I finally get my period for those day 2 tests. What's going on with me? Could I actually be pregnant even though the pregnancy tests are saying no?
It is possible to have a false negative pregnancy test, especially if the test is taken too early or not done correctly. However, considering your symptoms and the medications you have been taking, it is less likely that you are pregnant. Given your history of PCOD and the symptoms you are experiencing, it is possible that your delayed period and other symptoms could be due to hormonal imbalances related to PCOD. It is also possible that the medications you have been taking, such as Primolut-N, could be affecting your menstrual cycle.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant and just had a growth scan that showed my amniotic fluid index is 22.2 cm. The doctor mentioned it's a bit high and suggested I get some blood tests done, like fbs and ppbs. They also said the baby's abdominal circumference is slightly above average. Does this mean I might have gestational diabetes? And what kind of diet should I be considering right now? Everything else with the baby's weight seems normal, so I'm just trying to understand what all this means.
An Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) of 22.2 cm is indeed high, and the slightly above-average abdominal circumference may indicate fetal macrosomia; however, gestational diabetes diagnosis requires confirmation through FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) and PPBS (Postprandial Blood Sugar) tests; if diagnosed, follow a balanced diet with complex carbohydrates, fiber-rich foods, and minimal sugar intake, and consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and experienced spotting during my 4th month. My doctor had me on HCG injections, but now she's saying I don't need them anymore. Is it okay to just stop the injections like that, or could it mess with my hormones?
-VIt's generally safe to stop the HCG injection if your doctor advises it, as the body can maintain pregnancy on its own. However, it's always good to follow your doctor's advice closely to avoid any hormonal imbalances.
