I had unprotected sex recently, but I took a birth control pill within 72 hours. Now I'm experiencing brown discharge and I've had two periods in the same month. Is this something serious? Could it mean I might be pregnant?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and recently had an internal ultrasound at around 5 weeks 4 days, but it only showed the sac without the fetus pole. They're asking me to come back in 2 weeks for another ultrasound, and honestly, I'm a bit worried. I'm 34 and taking folic acid and Susten 200, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should be doing, like any specific injections or medicines to help with the fetus development. My doctor mentioned there's a 5050 chance, and since I'm not really experiencing much nausea or sickness, I'm just curious if that could mean anything. What should I be aware of or ask about next?

Given your situation, it's essential to follow your doctor's guidance. Since you're already taking folic acid and Susten 200 (progesterone), continue with these medications as prescribed. *Additional Recommendations* 1. *Progesterone support*: Your doctor may consider additional progesterone support to help maintain the pregnancy. 2. *Fetal development monitoring*: Regular ultrasounds will help monitor fetal development and detect any potential issues early. 3. *Prenatal vitamins*: Ensure you're taking prenatal vitamins containing essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamin D. 4. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain a healthy pregnancy. *Addressing Your Concerns* 1. *50-50 chance*: Your doctor's assessment is likely based on the initial ultrasound findings. However, it's essential to remain hopeful and focus on supporting your pregnancy. 2. *Lack of nausea*: Not experiencing nausea or sickness during pregnancy is relatively common, especially in the early stages. 3. *Age-related concerns*: As you're 34 years old, your doctor may discuss age-related risks and recommendations for your pregnancy. *Next Steps* 1. *Follow-up ultrasound*: Attend your scheduled follow-up ultrasound to reassess fetal development.
