How do miscarriages look?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Signs of a miscarriage can include spotting or vaginal bleeding similar to a menstrual period. The bleeding will often have more clots than a regular period, appearing as tiny lumps in the vaginal discharge. Abdominal cramping may also accompany.

Hey, so we had sex early Sunday morning and my girlfriend took an ipill that night. Then we ended up having unprotected sex again on Tuesday. I'm just wondering if the ipill will still work for the second time or does she need to take another pill?
The effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pills like i-pill decreases if taken multiple times in a short period. It is recommended to not rely on i-pill as a regular form of contraception. For the recent unprotected sex on Tuesday, your girlfriend can consider taking another emergency contraceptive pill like Unwanted 72 within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy.

I'm 14 weeks pregnant and just got my Dual Marker test and Ultrasound done. I'm looking at the results, and I'm a bit confused. The Age Risk for Trisomy 21 says 1546, and it shows Screen negative at 124906. There's also Trisomy 18 with Screen negative at 1100000. The Free BHCG is 14.1 IUL at 0.78 MOM, and the PAPP-A is 3.64 IUL at 0.99 MOM. The Ultrasound shows the yolk sac, CRL is at 78.8 mm, which matches 13 weeks and 6 days, NT measurement is 1.7mm, and the nasal bone is seen at 0.89 MOM. I'm really concerned about what all these numbers mean. Could my baby possibly have Down Syndrome based on these results, and what should my next steps be?
there is no cause for concern regarding the risk of Down syndrome or other chromosomal conditions in your baby. The next step would likely be a routine follow-up ultrasound and continued monitoring throughout your pregnancy. If you have further concerns or if your doctor feels it necessary, they might recommend more specific tests such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) or amniocentesis for more detailed risk assessment, but based on these results, that is generally not required.
