I am 10 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. My report shows low lying posterior placenta with lower pole covering internal os and short cervix too. What does this mean? Should I be worried? What precautions should I take? I already had 2 miscarriages in the past due to an incompetent cervix. Please help.

A low lying placenta and short cervix at 10 weeks with prior miscarriages is concerning. Strict rest, progesterone support, and possibly a cervical stitch (cerclage) may be needed depending on your doctors evaluation. Please dont miss regular checkups.

View allToday is the 14th day of my cycle, and my follicle study shows that the follicle has ruptured. Does this mean my chances of pregnancy are good. Is this a positive sign in my report. I am a bit confused because the ovulation kit showed a negative result, but the scan confirms follicle rupture.

Hi, I am recently pregnant again after a miscarriage in May. I am being overly cautious with this pregnancy, so I requested a blood test for my beta HCG and progesterone levels. The first test showed beta HCG 89 and progesterone 3.6. The second test revealed my beta HCG was 195, so it more than doubled, which is good, but my progesterone is still pending. I am concerned because I truly believe low progesterone caused my previous miscarriage. The doctor did not seem too concerned. Should I be worried?
