I'm really concerned about my hCG levels in this fourth week of pregnancy. It's a bit nerve-wracking since my first appointment is still a little way off. How can I be sure everything's looking good until then?

I'm pregnant and I've been told that both I and my baby have the O blood type. I've heard about the Rhesus factor and I'm a bit anxious about any potential issues. Is there any preventive treatment we should consider to avoid any problems related to this?

you're experiencing anal stenosis or narrowing, your doctor may recommend gradual anal dilatation using: 1. Anal dilators: Specialized instruments inserted gradually to stretch the anal canal. 2. Digital dilatation: A healthcare professional gently stretches the anal canal using their fingers.

I'm curious about what to expect after taking Crina NCR 15. If someone uses it once daily for 5 days, how long until they should expect their period to start? Also, could you explain how Crina NCR 15 actually works?

Crina NCR 15, containing norethisterone 15mg, is a progesterone-only pill that can help regulate menstrual cycles; when taken once daily for 5 days, it can induce withdrawal bleeding, which is often mistaken for a period; typically, withdrawal bleeding occurs 2-4 days after finishing the 5-day course, so you may expect bleeding around 7-9 days after starting Crina NCR 15.
