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.

I've been feeling a bit worried because I had chickenpox last month and now my periods are delayed, which has never happened before. My period was due on the 4th of November, but I ended up getting chickenpox on the 15th. I'm still on my regular diet and don't have any other issues. Could this delay in my period be linked to weakness from the chickenpox? Can you help me understand what's going on?
