I'm really worried and need some advice. I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant, and we tested on the 34th day, which came out positive. On the 35th day, the doctor administered HCG 5000, and the following day I noticed some spotting. I rested and the spotting reduced, but after receiving another HCG 5000 yesterday, the spotting returned after 4 hours. During a consultation with a doctor online, I was told it's normal and nothing to worry about, but the amount of spotting has increased now. Is there any way to stop this bleeding? It's our first child, and I'm really anxious about this situation. What should I do?

Spotting in early pregnancy can be common, and the HCG injections are often given to support the pregnancy. However, if the bleeding increases or you feel concerned, its important to follow up with your doctor for further guidance. Resting, staying hydrated, and monitoring the situation is key, but dont hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider if you notice any significant changes. Stay positive, and take care!

I'm really concerned because my girlfriend is a virgin, and when we tried to have sex yesterday, I could only insert about 14 centimeters before something seemed to be blocking it. Gently moving further was painful for her, and it felt like something was obstructing. What could this be? Can you help us understand what's going on and what we should do?
