I'm really worried about my baby's growth since the scan at 30 weeks and 5 days showed a weight of 1265 grams with a variation of 185 grams. The report mentioned 28 weeks and 6 days with mild IUGR. I've started on argipreg sachets and alamine forte twice daily, and I'm trying to eat as well as I canmilk with protein powder, three eggs, dry fruits, curd, coconut water, and fresh fruits every day. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?

Your TSH levels have increased from 4.04 to 6.95.
TSH Interpretation
- Normal range: 0.4-4.5 UmL (may vary slightly depending on the lab)
- Your result: 6.95 UmL (elevated)
Elevated TSH Indicates
- Hypothyroidism: Your thyroid gland might not be producing enough thyroid hormones.
- Thyroid gland dysfunction: The increase in TSH suggests that your thyroid gland is not functioning optimally.
Consult a Doctor
- Endocrinologist: A specialist who deals with hormonal imbalances and thyroid disorders.
- Primary Care Physician (PCP):
- If you don't have an endocrinologist, start with your PCP.
- They'll evaluate your results, medical history, and perform a physical examination.
Seriousness
- Mild hypothyroidism: Your TSH level is mildly elevated, which might not require immediate attention.
- Monitoring and treatment: However, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of action and prevent potential complications.
Please schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist or your PCP to discuss your test results and determine the next steps.

View allI'm kind of anxious about something and could really use some advice. So, I had protected sex using a condom just a couple of days before my period started on the 29th, and then I got my period on the 31st. Do you think there's any chance I could be pregnant? I'm also thinking about whether I should take an emergency contraceptive pill like an ipill, but I'm worried it might mess up my period. Is it a good idea to take it, or should I just not worry about this?
no need to take pill you done at safe Sex period

I'm a bit worried about my situation. I had an ectopic pregnancy that was found at 8 weeks in, and my doctor gave me a methotrexate injection since my hCG level was 39,000. A week later, I was prescribed methotrexate tablets for ten days. After taking the tablets the first day, I started bleeding heavily for five days. Then, after a two-day gap, the bleeding was more like a normal period but without any pain. My hCG levels have been decreasing steadily, and now they're at 601. Does this mean my problem is resolving, or should I be worried about anything else?
It is important to monitor hCG levels to ensure they continue to decrease until they reach non-pregnant levels. To help clear the ectopic pregnancy completely, you can continue taking methotrexate tablets as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, it is essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of hCG levels to confirm resolution of the ectopic pregnancy. If you experience any concerning symptoms such as severe pain, heavy bleeding, or dizziness, seek medical attention promptly.
