Hey, I'm really worried because my D-Dimer level is at 670 ngmL, which I know is higher than the normal range of up to 500 ngmL. I've also tested positive for COVID and I'm 36 weeks pregnant. I'm really concerned about the risks of blood clots in the placenta. Can you tell me how I might be able to bring my D-Dimer levels down? Also, is it necessary and safe for me to take a Clexane 60 mg injection? Would really appreciate your guidance on whether it's mandatory.

We have to go for an abortion today with a good gynecologist. I'm really looking for some solid advice on how to care for my wife after the procedure. How soon might she recover? What should we focus on regarding her diet? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate your guidance on this.

To support your wife's recovery after abortion, ensure she rests for 1-2 days, avoids heavy liftingstrenuous activities for 1-2 weeks, takes pain relievers as prescribed, and follows a balanced diet rich in iron, protein, and whole foods; also, encourage her to stay hydrated, avoid sexual intercourse for 1-2 weeks, and schedule a follow-up appointment with the gynecologist

I'm feeling a bit anxious after taking the MTP pill because my scan showed there are small retained products of conception. What should I do next?

One more dose of mesprostl can be given if not vaccum aspiration or D&C could be tried.

I've been diagnosed with an endometriotic cyst that's over 3 cm, and I've been on Ovral L for a few months. Now, the cyst's size has decreased to 2.5 x 1.5 cm. My doctor is suggesting I should consider early marriage and pregnancy. Is that really the only option I have? If I delay this, could I face infertility issues down the road, or are there any other complications I should be aware of?
