I've had foreplay with my partner, and my periods have been irregular for the last 6 months. My hemoglobin level is 9, and I took a pregnancy test, but it came back negative. Could I still be pregnant, or is there something else I should be worried about?

Accidental Ingestion of Marijuana Ashes

Immediate Concerns

  1. Dehydration: Vomiting multiple times can lead to dehydration. Drink plenty of water and consider an oral rehydration solution.
  2. Gastrointestinal irritation: The ashes can cause stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting.
  3. Respiratory concerns: Inhaling marijuana ashes can cause respiratory issues, such as coughing and shortness of breath.

Long-term Concerns

  1. No significant long-term effects: Accidental ingestion of marijuana ashes is unlikely to cause significant long-term health effects.
  2. Potential for lung damage: Repeated inhalation of marijuana ashes can lead to lung damage and respiratory problems.

Stuck Ash Particles

  1. Unlikely: It's unlikely that ash particles will remain stuck in your throat.
  2. Monitor your symptoms: If you experience persistent throat discomfort, coughing, or difficulty swallowing, seek medical attention.

What to Do

  1. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to replenish lost fluids.
  2. Rest: Allow your body time to recover from the gastrointestinal irritation.
  3. Monitor your symptoms: Keep track of your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or persist.

I took misoprostol earlier in the day around 11:30 am and noticed a bit of spotting. If I push a bit, I get some bleeding, but it's not heavy at all. My doctor mentioned that I'd start having heavier bleeding after about 3 to 4 hours, but that hasn't happened yet. It's almost 9:30 now, and I'm getting worried. What should I do next?

Given that it's been 9.5 hours since taking misoprostol and you're experiencing only spotting and minimal bleeding upon straining, contact your doctor immediately for guidance, as the expected heavy bleeding hasn't occurred; your doctor may recommend another dose of misoprostol,

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and trying to understand some terms from my latest scan results. Can you explain what these foetal growth parameters mean? Like, what do 'bpd 86 mm', 'hc 312 mm', 'fl 69 mm', and 'ac 304 mm' indicate about my baby's growth? And, it says the estimated foetal weight is 2.5 kg, which sounds reassuring, but is that an average weight for this stage? Also, my amniotic fluid is normal with an AFI of 12 and the placenta is posterior with grade 2 maturity in the upper segment. They're saying there are no obvious anomalies now, and something about the Doppler study of the umbilical artery with terms like 'psv 36 cms' and 'edv 15 cms', and other readings like 'pi 0.84', 'sd 2.3', and 'diastolic filling good'. What do these mean for my baby? It also mentions the uterine artery on the right, and the foetal mca Doppler trace is within normal limits. I'm a bit confused about what all these mean, especially when they mention things like a single live foetus with a vertical lie and low head position. It sounds like everything is okay, but no IUGR and no cord around the babys neck are mentioned too. Could you help clarify all this for me?

-Your 34-week ultrasound report shows that your baby is growing well with normal measurements: Biparietal diameter (BPD) of 86 mm, head circumference (HC) of 312 mm, femur length (FL) of 69 mm, abdominal circumference (AC) of 304 mm, and an estimated weig
