I've missed my periods, and it's been three weeks now. When I took a pregnancy test during the second week, the line was darker, but in the third week, it seemed a bit lighter. What does this mean? Im a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.

View allI'm 20 weeks pregnant and my doctor recommended Dexorange syrup for me. I'm a bit concerned because I noticed it contains 5.5% alcohol. Is it safe for me to be taking this during pregnancy?
Dexorange syrup contains iron and other vitamins, but the alcohol content is a concern during pregnancy. While the amount is small, it's best to consult your doctor regarding its use, as alcohol consumption during pregnancy is generally advised against. Your doctor may suggest an alternative iron supplement without alcohol.

I'm really worried because my ultrasound says I'm 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant, but based on my last menstrual period, I should actually be around 8 weeks. There's no foetal pole seen yet. Is there a chance my pregnancy might not continue? How long should I wait before knowing for sure?
The discrepancy between your gestational age based on LMP (8 weeks) and ultrasound (5 weeks 4 days) is concerning, and the absence of a fetal pole at 5 weeks 4 days is a potential indication of a non-viable pregnancy or a miscarriage, so your healthcare provider may recommend waiting for 1-2 weeks for a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the presence of a fetal pole or heartbeat, but the prognosis is uncertain, and emotional preparation for a potential miscarriage is essential.
