I'm a bit worried because my last menstrual period was on April 27, 2017, and when I took a home pregnancy test on June 4, it came out positive. I got a blood test on Tuesday with an hCG level of 12579.68. Then, I went for an ultrasound on June 6th. They saw a sac with a fetus, but there was no heartbeat. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and its been two days since that ultrasound. Is it okay for me to go for another ultrasound today to check for a heartbeat?

It is recommended to wait at least one week after the first ultrasound to check for the heartbeat. You can go for another ultrasound around 7 weeks of pregnancy to have a better chance of detecting the fetal heartbeat.

I'm three months pregnant and just had my NT and dual marker screening, and the results are showing a high risk for trisomy 21. I'm really worried about what this means and how it might affect my baby. Can you help me understand this better?
A high-risk result for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) from your NT and dual marker tests is concerning, but it's essential to understand that it's a screening test, not a diagnostic test; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, and they may recommend further testing, such as a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best course of action.

I'm dealing with PCOD and just found out I'm pregnant, which is super exciting but also a bit nerve-wracking. My doctor mentioned I might need to take Ecosprin since it's really early in the pregnancy. It's my first month, and I'm kind of anxious about what I should dolike, is it really safe to start Ecosprin now? Would it affect the pregnancy in any way?
