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

Progesterone support: Your doctor may consider additional progesterone support to help maintain the pregnancy.

Fetal development monitoring: Regular ultrasounds will help monitor fetal development and detect any potential issues early.

Prenatal vitamins: Ensure you're taking prenatal vitamins containing essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and vitamin D.

Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Addressing Your Concerns

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.

Lack of nausea: Not experiencing nausea or sickness during pregnancy is relatively common, especially in the early stages.

Age-related concerns: As you're 34 years old, your doctor may discuss age-related risks and recommendations for your pregnancy.

Next Steps

Follow-up ultrasound: Attend your scheduled follow-up ultrasound to reassess fetal development.

Can a cyst come out in your period?

Physiological cysts appear and disappear as you progress from one menstrual cycle to the next, usually do not show any symptoms or need any intervention. Ovarian cyst may sometimes burst causing severe pain and bleeding but cyst as a whole may not come out.

I'm a bit concerned because I started bleeding for about 5 days after a dilation and curettage, then it stopped for 3 days, but now it's started again, and the bleeding is brown. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Bleeding 5 days after a D&C (dilation and curettage) procedure is common, and the subsequent stoppage for 3 days followed by brown-colored bleeding could be due to hormonal changes, uterine lining shedding, or minor spotting

I'm kind of worried because I missed my period. My last one started on March 3rd and I took a home pregnancy test on April 5th, which came out positive. I also got a BETA HCG test the same day and the levels were at 309.1 mIUml. Can you let me know if these results definitely mean that I'm pregnant? And if so, is there any indication from the HCG levels about whether it's a healthy pregnancy?

Your pregnancy test results are positive. In order to determine whether it is a healthy pregnancy, you will have to consult an obstetrician and undergo a panel of antenatal blood tests and scans.
