Risk versus benefit: We use zyprexa (olanzapine) in pregnancy, when the risks outweigh the benefits.  It is a category c medication, which is what many medications that we use in pregnancy are.

Question 8

my serum beta is 1.20..am i pregnant??

Accepted Answer

No, but did you: miss a period? If the test was done after a missed period, you are not pregnant. A beta HCG level of 25 or higher is diagnostic of pregnancy, level below 5 is not pregnant, in between, need to repeat the test 2-4 days later.
Conception, as defined by the generation of a fertilized ovum, occurs within day or so of the sex. However, it takes about 2-3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG to produce a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.
