Question 1

i'm taking ibuprofen 400mg, 3 times a day for severe tooth pain until i will have an extraction, the extraction will be next month and i'm 5 weeks pregnant. will the ibuprofen affect the embryo? i don't want to have a miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

: While ibuprofen is specifically dangerous in the third trimester, it is problematic in early pregnancy too, and you should stop taking it, especially as much as you are taking. Oddly enough, opiates like codeine are safest for pain in early pregnancy as long as just occasionally and not after 25 weeks.

Question 2

don?t understand how can i tell if i miscarried?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: See your doctor.  He/she will oeder an ultrasound and/or a series of blood tests to determine the viability of the pregnancy.

Question 3

i don't have insurance but i think i might be miscarrying. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage: There is no specific treatment for miscarriage. Some bleeding during early pregnancy is common. If it is persistent, it may result in miscarriage and there is nothing that doctors can do to prevent it. Thus, while i realize that you are probably very anxious, the best thing is to just wait and see what happens. If the bleeding persists, you will know it is a miscarriage with a blood test (hcg).

Question 4

can you have a miscarriage if you don't eat what ur  craving?

Accepted Answer

Miscarriage and : Cravings are not related at all. No worries.

Question 5

8 days late, retested this morning, again negative. i had a miscarriage jan 3, 13 & really don't want to go see my dr until i get a positive?

Accepted Answer

Irregularperiods: Pregnancy is one reason you could be late, but   there are others.  You may not be ovulating.  If you're trying to conceive quickly, you may want to see your doctor now.

Question 7

help please! i don't know when would i ovulate after having a miscarriage a week ago?

Accepted Answer

3 + weeks: After a miscarriage a woman may ovulate and thus conceive as early as in 3 weeks time. She may not have a menstrual period before conceiving. The pregnancy test can be positive for up to weeks after a miscarriage. It can therefore become difficult to discern, if, in the absence of a menstrual period, a positive  urine pregnancy test is caused by the previous or a new pregnancy.

Question 8

i am in the middle of a miscarriage. i don't know if it has passed but now i have noticed a foul smell. what could this foul smell mean?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection: See your physician tomorrow to see if antibiotics are needed.  Sorry for your loss.

Question 9

i miscarried last year november and somehow i cant seem to convince again. all the doctors i am seeing on this network dont wanna refer me for more help but noticed that i am having bad discharge to sometimes smell. i doubt cleaning was done proper?

Accepted Answer

Fertility ?'s: Vaginal odor and discharge is usually due to infection. Infection can make the Fallopian tubes obstructed, preventing pregnancy. See your gyn for an exam and culture to treat the infection, and ask about a hysterosalpingogram (HSG), which can clear the tubes by injection of sterile liquid into the uterus.  This may be done safely only if infection is first treated.

Question 10

is it possible that i miscarried and didn't know it?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is very possible. If you feel that a miscarriage has occurred, it is best to contact your provider as soon as possible. If you are having persistent bleeding, you should consider seeking more immediate medical attention.
