I'm 17 days post-ovulation and my beta hCG level is 1000. Could this mean I'm expecting twins or triplets, or is it more likely just a single pregnancy? I was treated with ovulation induction this cycle and my pregnancy test came back positive. Could you provide some insight into what to expect?

I'm kind of worried because my wife's pregnancy test at home came back positive, and when we got a urine HCG test done at the lab, it was positive too. The thing is, she's about 5 weeks along, but the ultrasound didn't show a gestational sac. Does this mean she's actually pregnant, or should we be concerned?

Repeat the scan at 7 weeks of gestation and observe,follow your Obstetricians advice.

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and recently had an incomplete abortion, so I went through a D&C procedure on June 9th. Now, I've noticed there's some swelling in my abdomen, and it's quite painful. I only had bleeding for 2 to 3 days after the D&C. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Swelling and pain in the abdomen can be common after a D&C procedure. However, if the symptoms are severe or persistent, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to rest and avoid strenuous activities. If the symptoms worsen or you experience heavy bleeding, seek medical attention immediately.
