My wife's about 11 weeks pregnant. Last month, we could hear the baby's heartbeat, but at her recent check-up, we couldn't hear it anymore. The local doctor wasn't very hopeful. We're really anxious and just wondering if there's any way to possibly revive the fetus's heartbeat and save our baby. Could there be any hope or options we should know about?

View allI've been experiencing a lot of pain during sex because there's not enough lubrication, and it makes me really anxious. I'm wondering if using Lox 2 jelly might help. Is it safe, and could it ease the pain I'm feeling? I'm really looking for some guidance on this.
understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. _Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_ 1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects. 2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications. _High Total Blood Protein_ 1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as: - Dehydration - Liver or kidney disease - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis) - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma) 2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis. 2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause. 3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I've been experiencing nausea, cramps, fatigue, and headaches six days after having intercourse and taking the i-pill. I'm really worried and wondering if these are side effects of the i-pill or if they could be early signs of pregnancy. Could you help me understand what's going on?
The symptoms you're experiencingnausea, cramps, fatigue, and headacheare likely side effects of the i-pill, as it contains a high dose of hormones that can cause such reactions. However, to rule out pregnancy, consider taking a urine pregnancy test if your period is delayed. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.

I'm really worried because I took vaginal misoprostol two days ago, and there's still no bleeding. Is this normal? Should I be thinking about taking more, or is there something else going on?
If there's no bleeding after taking misoprostol, it could be due to individual variations in how your body responds to the medication. It's important not to take more without consulting your doctor, as they can assess your situation and determine the best course of action.
