I'm three months pregnant and just had my NT and dual marker screening, and the results are showing a high risk for trisomy 21. I'm really worried about what this means and how it might affect my baby. Can you help me understand this better?

A high-risk result for Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) from your NT and dual marker tests is concerning, but it's essential to understand that it's a screening test, not a diagnostic test; consult your doctor or a genetic counselor to discuss the results, and they may recommend further testing, such as a non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or amniocentesis, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the best course of action.

View allI'm really worried and would appreciate your advice. Me and my girlfriend only had oral sex about a month ago, and we're pretty sure it was just that. She usually has irregular periods, and her last one was on March 3rd. This month, her period skipped, and she's been worried ever since. After missing her period by a couple of days, we did a urine HCG test which came back negative, and then repeated it 4 days later, still negative. She's noticed some whitish smears in her underpants, and she said she's experienced this before due to sexual arousal. But now that seems to have stopped. Could there still be any chance of pregnancy from oral sex? Is it even possible for saliva to cause pregnancy when I kissed her and then went down on her? Please help me understand what's going on.
no need to worry sice hcg is negative you are less likely to be pregnant and it is less likely to be pregnant by your methods consult your gynac for further treatment

I'm nursing my 3-year-old and wondering if it's safe to take cyclopam for menstrual pain. Could this medication be harmful while breastfeeding?
Cyclopam (Dicyclomine) can be taken occasionally for menstrual pain while nursing a 3-year-old, as only small amounts pass into breast milk, and it's generally considered safe. However, monitor your child for any signs of drowsiness or feeding changes, and consult your doctor for personalized advice.
