I’m truly rooting for you and hoping everything turns out perfectly.
If I were in your shoes, though, I’d probably go out of my way to get a second opinion. Maybe book an appointment with a private OB-GYN or something similar... I have a feeling they’d be more willing to run a beta test for you and all that.
Sending you my best and wishing you nothing but the best!
Thanks so much, Kevin Richardson3... I actually have an appointment scheduled at Mayo Clinic tomorrow to see the gynecologist for an ultrasound. Once that's done, I plan to talk to them about getting a beta test done and starting on Utrogestan, especially since I've started having some discharge...
You're the sweetest, thank you...
A massive thank you for everything, Mark Fox18...
Fine, thanks. I'll hold out until Friday and see how things play out. If this discharge hasn't cleared up by then, I'm starting on the medication. I just need everything to go smoothly—I absolutely cannot handle any spontaneous incidents. I’ve got my heart set on this little angel...
She’s just a general practitioner OB-GYN, just like any other primary care doctor you'd see in the States. You go to her for basic screenings, swabs, and the standard routine. She prescribed Ultragestan, and from everything I've read, women take it during early pregnancy to help prevent miscarriage. It doesn't harm the fetus; if anything, it supports the pregnancy and helps development. If a miscarriage has already happened, then the period will come naturally regardless—Ultragestan won't cause any negative side effects. I'm just torn on whether to start taking it immediately or wait until Friday. Even with an ultrasound, the doctor can't tell me much besides the fact that there's a fetus present.
Listen up, everyone. This is my first time posting here, and I’m looking for some straight talk. My period was due on April 15th, but it’s already the 23rd and nothing. I took a Clearblue pregnancy test this past Saturday, and it came back positive. It wasn't even a question—a crystal clear positive right after I finished. By my count, I’m about three weeks and four days along, though if you calculate from my last period, it’s closer to four weeks and six days. I went to see my OBGYN yesterday, but since she doesn't have an ultrasound machine in her office, she just did a basic exam. She noticed some brown discharge that I haven't had before; it showed up last night after the appointment and a little bit more this morning. She told me to wait until Friday, and if my period still hasn't arrived, to start taking progesterone twice a day. Honestly, I want to start them immediately because I'm terrified of a miscarriage. I really want to find a private specialist to get an ultrasound just to confirm everything is actually there. I realize it's too early to hear a heartbeat, but the anxiety of the worst-case scenario is killing me. Does anyone have any actual advice? Should I go get blood work done or something else? Thanks in advance... and hello to all.
