I am 6 months pregnant and my urine microscopic examination shows pus cells 5 to 7 and epithelial cells 7 to 10. My doctor has suggested taking Nitrofurantoin SR 100 twice daily for 7 days. My query is whether it is safe to take during pregnancy and should I take it or not.

Nitrofurantoin is generally considered safe during pregnancy. It helps clear urinary infections. Please complete the full 7 day course unless doctor advises otherwise. Get done urine culture and sensitivity with routine done.

Question

Hi, on the 17th day of my period I went for a follicular study. My doctor injected HCG 10000 for egg rupture on the 18th day. I assume my egg ruptured then, but we were not able to have intercourse. On the 19th day, the doctor confirmed that the egg had ruptured. Since I did not have intercourse on the 18th day when the egg ruptured, is there any chance of pregnancy?

Question

I had a lower abdomen ultrasound done recently. I am unmarried and worried about pregnancy. My last menstrual period was on 5th January. I am unsure if the sonographer properly examined my uterus. I have attached my report and ultrasound images for your review.

Question

I am under fertility treatment. My last menstrual period was on November 8. I took letrozole from day 2 for 5 days. Follicles developed by day 9 measuring 23 by 17 mm and 21 by 16 mm. Two dominant follicles were there. By day 12 both ruptured. Endometrium thickness was 9 mm. From the next day I started taking Duphaston 10 mg morning and night for 15 days. From that day onwards I have been having spotting. After my 15 days course I stopped Duphaston on December 4. Today is December 12 and almost 9 days are over. My spotting stopped 2 days back but after stopping Duphaston spotting continued for some days. Today I took UPT but it was negative. Is there a possibility to get pregnant in this scenario? It has been 25 days after ovulation. Is it possible to ovulate and have no period or am I pregnant? Kindly clear my doubt and explain in detail about my report. Thank you.
