Ectopic Pregnancy

Yes, 8 months of pregnancy, or around 32 weeks, is generally considered a safe mark, as most pregnancies reach full term at about 40 weeks. At this stage, the fetus is typically well-developed, and the risk of preterm birth decreases significantly. However, individual circumstances can vary, and it's essential for expectant mothers to consult with healthcare providers to monitor their specific situation and ensure the health of both mother and baby.

Having a general anesthetic with ventricular ectopic beats can pose several risks, including potential cardiovascular instability during surgery. The ectopic beats may indicate underlying heart conditions, which could be exacerbated by anesthesia and surgical stress. There is also a risk of arrhythmias during the procedure, particularly if the anesthetic affects heart rate or blood pressure. Close monitoring and a thorough preoperative assessment are essential to mitigate these risks.

In an ectopic pregnancy, fluttering sensations may not be felt as early as in a normal pregnancy, where they typically start around the 16th week. However, some women may experience unusual sensations or cramping as early as 6 to 8 weeks after their last menstrual period. It's important to note that fluttering is not a common symptom of ectopic pregnancy, and other signs such as sharp pain, bleeding, or dizziness should prompt immediate medical attention.

Hyper pregnancy, often referred to as hyperemesis gravidarum, is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that goes beyond typical morning sickness. It can lead to dehydration, weight loss, and nutritional deficiencies, requiring medical intervention. Women experiencing hyperemesis gravidarum may need hospitalization for hydration and medication to manage symptoms. It is a rare condition, affecting about 0.5-2% of pregnancies.

As an educator with expertise in this subject, I must clarify that I am not a medical professional. However, it is important to note that terminating a pregnancy should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare provider. The effectiveness and safety of any medication for terminating a pregnancy, including gynomin pill, depend on various factors such as the dosage, timing, and individual health conditions. It is crucial to seek medical advice and guidance for any decisions regarding pregnancy termination.

It is estimated that over 8 million babies worldwide have been born through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) since the first successful IVF birth in 1978.

Through the wonders of science, infertile couples who were

previously unable to bear children, due to reasons such as blocked

fallopian tubes, low sperm count, low egg quantities or advanced age

of the mother, are now able to conceive through in-vitro

fertilization. The results are babies known as test-tube babies

which are technically conceived outside the womb.

In a natural scenario, the conception of a baby occurs when the

ovum, travels from the ovaries, through the fallopian tube to be

fertilized by the sperm of the father during sexual intercourse.

From this point on, the fertilized egg will travel down towards the

uterus and during the process division of cells will occur until it

reaches its final destination at the wall of the uterus. However, in

the cases of block fallopian tubes, the eggs are unable to travel

from the ovaries to the uterus and conception cannot happen.

Developed in the United Kingdom by Dr. Patrick Steptoe and Dr.

Robert Edwards, the process of in-vitro fertilization involves

removing eggs from the ovaries of the mother and combining them with

the sperm of the father in a lab environment. The fertilized egg is

then placed back into the uterus of the mother after 3 to 5 days and

will remain there to grow till birth. Because of the low success

pregnancy rate of this procedure, a few eggs are placed in the

uterus to increase the odds of success. With this process,

statistics have shown that the rates of multiple births have

increased where 24 percent of the in-vitro fertilization births have

produced twins.

The first test-tube baby, Louise Brown, who was born on the 25th

July 1978, marked hope for other infertile couples to have a baby

through this procedure. However, many others were concerned about

the ethical issues surround this. One major area of concern was the

fact that as the egg is located outside the womb for a few days

while the cells multiplied before being put back inside the uterus,

the health issues affecting this baby is unknown. Indeed, research

has been shown that test-tube babies have a higher chance of birth

defects and low birth weight, and researchers still have not been

able to determine the reason for this.

Other issue of concern is that through this procedure, some of the

eggs fertilized in the lab are later discarded. Does this procedure

mean that the researchers are actually killing potential people? How

is the line drawn in this case?

Then there is also the issue of commercial opportunities for eggs

and sperms to be bought and surrogate wombs to be rented with the

purpose of creating babies. This process of embryo transfer to

another mother, not necessarily the same woman who had provided the

eggs, is known as placing the embryo in a gestational carrier. This

procedure has been becoming increasingly common through

technological advancement, which has made couples including women

with uterus problems, have a chance in having their baby.

Test-tube babies have really brought changes to the way in which

babies are conceived and have given much hope to many who have had

problems having babies through the process of fake fertilisation. However, the

downside of this are the ethical issues behind the procedure, with

which still poses a big question mark and with which is still

opposed by many factions.

yes. anything with nerves and nerve endings experience pain, pleasure, etc.

An ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo plants itself anywhere other than the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. The egg does not make its way through the fallopian tube, so it is implanted and stationary at this point. The most common reasons for this are: scar tissue, previous ectopic pregnancy(ies), use of IUD, and others. I just had surgery for an ectopic, so what I've given you is just information I've received from my doctors and what I've read online. Hope this helps.

PVCs are rarely dangerous. Almost everyone has them from time to time. They can be caused by stress, infection, or overuse of caffiene or other stimulants. PVCs may also be an early warning of other problems such as a thyroid disorder or heart disease. Something to try to be aware of is if the PVCs are perfusing or nonperusing, that is do you have a pulse with these irregular beats? As long as the beats are perfusing there is no risk of your blood pressure being lowered by these missed or irregular beats.

Pregnancy can be prevented by using a birth control such as a pill, depot shot, patch, or condom. But I will say the safest way to prevent pregnancy is to be abstinence which in meaning don't have sex at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it is negative and you haven't had a period wait a week and take another test. If it is still negative and you don't have a period, call your doctor.

As implantation does not occur for 7-10 days after ovualtion, there is no possibility of a test 6dpo being positive.

Yes this could be a sign of pregnancy. If the pains are severe see your doctor for a check over. Good luck.

The pregnancy cycle is pretty much done in three month increments, there is the first trimester 0-3 months second trimester 3-6 months and the third trimester is 6-9 months in the first trimester a lot goes on first the sperm fertilizes the egg then the egg divides into many cycles of cells once the egg implants around the 6th week of pregnancy everything starts to develop the placenta grows larger and your baby begins it's journey to being born in the second trimester the baby finishes its development and then starts to grow larger in your last trimester it is just all about weight gain the baby will gain about a pound a week until it is born, you can also go to pregnancy.org they even have color pictures to help you understand it all better.

Symptoms of ectopic: It can be hard to tell if you are experiencing an ectopic pregnancy because so many women don't even know they're pregnant at the time they would notice any symptoms of an ectopic. Some symptoms of tubal pregnancy such as a missed menstrual period and vaginal bleeding or spotting two weeks later are similar to the early signs of pregnancy. About 1 in 2 women who are experiencing a tubal pregnancy notice abdominal pain on one side or the other. 1 in 3 women feel light-headed and about 1 in 5 have shoulder pain on the same side as the stomach pain.

Every woman experiences different feelings and symptoms during pregnancy, so there is no one answer to this question. However, many woman begin having some "morning sickness" around this time that can involve nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning. Many women also feel extremely tired in early pregnancy. Additionally, many also notice a great deal of breast tenderness. Other women experience no symptoms at all and don't know they are pregnant until they miss a period and take a pregnancy test. Hope this helps! Dr. B. http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/4-weeks-pregnant.html

Ectopic pregnancies are usually diagnosed within the first 2 months of pregnancy, possibly before you know you are pregnant. The symptoms may be mild or they may be severe and dangerous. They can be the same as the symptoms of early pregnancy or other less serious conditions. Possible symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are: 1. missed period or abnormal bleeding 2. pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis 3. symptoms of pregnancy such as breast tenderness or morning sickness.

No. Not eating at all can be a result of many things. If this is your only symptom I doubt that it is pregnancy related. If you are trying to get pregnant the best you can do for yourself is to EAT properly. If you had unprotecrted sex by accident and now you are late for your period and you have decreased appetite buy a home pregnancy test or see a doctor for a blood test. All the best!

Rising HCG always means pregnancy.
What is a blighted ovum?
A blighted ovum is a common type of miscarriage. It happens when a fertilized egg implants in the uterus but the resulting embryo either stops developing very early or doesn't form at all. Nowadays, the term "blighted ovum" is considered out of date. Instead, most medical professionals use the term "early pregnancy failure" to describe this situation.

With an early pregnancy failure, you'll get a positive result on a pregnancy test, because the placenta begins to develop anyway and starts to secrete human chorionic gonadtrophin (hCG), the hormone that these tests look for. Early on, you may also have some of the symptoms common in a normal pregnancy, such as fatigue, nausea, and sore breasts. Later, when the hormone levels begin to go down, these symptoms will subside and you're likely to have spotting or bleeding.

What will happen if I have an early pregnancy failure (blighted ovum)?
At first you might notice some reddish-brown staining, or have no spotting at all. Later you might have cramps or bleeding as your hormone levels recede. If you're having cramps or bleeding, or your uterus isn't growing as it should, or if your healthcare practitioner can't hear the baby's heartbeat with a Doppler by 12 weeks or so, you'll have an ultrasound to check on your baby. If it's a case of early pregnancy failure, the ultrasound will show an empty gestational sac.

You're likely to miscarry — that is, to expel the gestational sac and accumulated tissue by the end of your first trimester, though it may happen earlier than that. The miscarriage process can take weeks, though, and once you find out you aren't carrying a baby, you may find it's too emotionally wrenching or physically uncomfortable (if you're cramping a lot) to wait for a spontaneous miscarriage.

In that case, you may be able to use medication to speed up the miscarriage process. Or you may decide to have a suction curettage or dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove the tissue. You'll also need to have the tissue removed if you have any problems that make it unsafe to wait for a miscarriage, such as significant bleeding or signs of infection.

When can I try to conceive again?
You'll probably get your period again in four to six weeks after you miscarry or have the tissue removed. Some practitioners say you can start trying to conceive again after this period, but others recommend that you wait until you've been through another menstrual cycle. (You'll need to use birth control during this time, since you may ovulate as early as two weeks after you miscarry.)

Although you may be ready physically to get pregnant again, you might not feel ready emotionally. Every woman copes with the grief of early pregnancy loss in her own way, and some women find it takes months before they're interested in trying to conceive again.

Does having a blighted ovum once mean I'm likely to miscarry again?
No. Although you're likely to be worried about the possibility of another miscarriage, fertility experts don't consider a single early pregnancy loss to be a sign that there's anything wrong with you or your partner. Most practitioners will wait until you've had two or three consecutive miscarriages to order special blood and genetic tests to try to find out what's going wrong. What is a blighted ovum?

I had laparascopic salpingectomy 3.5 weeks ago for an ectopic pregnancy in my right fallopian tube. Previously I had two normal, healthy pregnancies resulting in my five year old son and three year old daughter. I was not in any of the 'at risk' categories for ectopic pregnancy, although my children were both delivered by caesarean section and this could be a relevant factor. I can definitely say that I experienced all the classic pregnancy symptoms, including larger, tender breasts with pronounced veins, just as I did with my first two children.

I had an eptopic pregnancy last year! I did not know that I was pregnant because the results came back negative. I started what I thought was my period and it lasted about 7 days and then the pains started in. That is when I found out it was an eptopic pregnancy from an ultrasound.
