I'm really worried and looking for some guidance. If a miscarriage happens around the 4th week, what should the HCG levels typically look like at that point, and how do they change after a miscarriage? Also, I'm curious about what the HCG levels are when someone isn't pregnant. How long does it usually take for the HCG levels to return to normal after a miscarriage?

The normal hCG levels at 5 weeks LMP is 18 7,340 mIUml. The hCG level in your blood doubles every two to three days when you're pregnant. If your hCG doubling time is slower than expected, or if it decreases over time, this may be a sign of a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. An hCG level of less than 5 mIUmL is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25 mIUmL is considered positive for pregnancy. It can take a variable amount of time for hCG levels to come to normal after miscarriage but it usually comes to normal within 2 weeks after miscarriage.

I took Primolut N for 10 days twice daily to delay my periods, and I've stopped it for the past 3 days. When can I expect my periods to start again? Also, I have a thyroid problem, so is that going to affect anything?

After stopping Primolut N, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, but this timeframe may vary due to individual hormonal responses and your pre-existing thyroid condition, which can affect menstrual regularity; monitor your body's response and consult your gynecologist if your periods are delayed beyond 7-10 days or if you experience any unusual symptoms.

I'm in my first trimester and I'm really worried about stretch marks. I've heard about bio oil helping with them, but I'm unsure if it's safe to use right now. Can you give me some advice on whether it's okay to use bio oil at this stage in my pregnancy?

Yes, you can use Bio-Oil for stretch marks during pregnancy. It is safe to use and can help improve the appearance of stretch marks. Apply Bio-Oil twice daily in a circular motion until fully absorbed.
