I'm a little confused about my recent double marker test results from last week. The beta hCG is at 188.80 ngmL and PAPP-A is at 6.76 mIUmL. I'm having twins, so I'm wondering if these numbers are in the normal range or if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help me understand what these results mean?

I had a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy on March 12 how long should I wait before being intimate with my husband again?

After a laparoscopy for ectopic pregnancy, doctors generally recommend waiting 2-3 weeks to resume intercourse and other physical activities. This allows the incisions to heal and the body to recover. However, the decision of when to resume intimacy is ultimately yours and your husband's, and should be based on how you both feel.
