I'm a bit concerned after my recent ultrasound scans. At 4 weeks and 3 days, the yolk sac was present, but there was no fetal pole. Then, in the second scan at 6 weeks and 4 days, neither the yolk sac nor the fetal pole was visible. Plus, I'm not experiencing any pregnancy symptoms. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

Its understandable to be concerned, but its not uncommon for early ultrasounds to show no fetal pole or yolk sac, especially if conception occurred later than expected. However, the absence of a fetal pole at 6 weeks could suggest a possible miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. It's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm a little concerned about my beta hCG levels. I had my last menstrual period on September 19, and I ovulated around October 5. I just got my beta hCG test results back, and they came in at 558 mIUmL on the 34th day since my LMP. Is this normal? Should I be worried or is everything okay with these numbers?

Your beta-hCG result of 558 mIUmL is normal for this stage of pregnancy. If you're concerned or experiencing symptoms (e.g., spotting, cramping), or if youre unsure about the results, its best to follow up with your doctor for further guidance or a follow-up blood test to check how the levels are rising. An ultrasound can also provide a more accurate assessment of the pregnancy's progress.

I'm really worried because I'm about 12 weeks into my pregnancy and I feel like I need to consider my options. Is there an abortion pill available in my country's pharmacies that I could get without having to see a doctor? I realize it was a mistake, and I'm looking for advice on what medication might be safe.

For a medical abortion within the first 9 weeks of pregnancy, you can consider taking a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone is usually taken first, followed by Misoprostol 24-48 hours later. Please consult with a healthcare provider for proper guidance on the dosage and administration.
