I was diagnosed with hydrosalpinx in my right tube and got two different opinions one doctor recommends laparoscopic surgery with tube clipping while another suggests removing the tube completely. I'm not sure which option is better for me and what the pros and cons are of each approach. Could you help explain the differences?

I got my beta HCG pregnancy test results today, and it says 0.172 mIUmL. Can you tell me if this means I'm pregnant or not? I'm a bit confused about what the numbers mean.

I'm really worried about my cousin's situation because her amniotic fluid levels have been decreasing again. She had it at 4.6 cm at 32 weeks, then after taking the L-arginine sachets three times a day, it went up to 8.6 cm by 34 weeks. But now it's down to 4 cm again at 36 weeks. The baby's growth and blood supply looked normal in the Doppler scan. The doctor said to have another scan in 4 days. Why might the fluid be going down again, and does this mean she'll still be able to have a normal delivery?
