Question

How likely is it to get pregnant while on the prova Depo-Provera shot for birthcontrol but also on the hCG diet shots ?

Answer 1

Very unlikely: Different studies had different findings. One study showed: 0.3% to 3% failure rate.

Answer 2

Yes: In an uncomplicated pregnancy, it is generally safe to travel up until about the last month. Travel above 10, 000 ft in an unpressurized cabin can cause problems with the placenta. Sitting for prolonged periods in an airplane can increase your risk of blood clots in your legs so getting up every 2 hours is important.

Answer 3

Yes: Airplane travel is safe during pregnancy due to pressurization of the cabin, etc. The real issue is two-fold: making sure to get up and walk around every hour to avoid "stasis" of blood in the legs (risk of blood clotting) as well as emptying your bladder; and, after a certain gestational age (usually 28 weeks), how far do you really want to be away from your ob/gyn if something does happen?

Answer 4

Yes: But it depends on where and how far along you are. You don't want to be in a place that can't take care of you and the baby if an emergency arises. Also you really want to be close to home in your last month of pregnancy.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes, it is ok to travel by airplane until your last month of pregnancy, when it is wiser to curtail long distance travel regardless of mode. You should travel with a copy of your prenatal record and your physician's contact information. If you have been advised due to a high risk condition to not travel/fly, or you have a specific concern about your pregnancy, defer to your doctor's advice.

Answer 6

Yes: In an uneventful pregancy, there is no problem with traveling on an airplane. If it is a long flight, you should get up every hour to strecth your leg muscles to help prevent a blood clot, which is a rare complication.

Answer 7

Yes but: Safe is not the problem, your personal comfort may be a problem. If you are ok for a car, then you are ok for an airplane.

Answer 8

Heavy weightlifting: In general, exercise in pregnancy is not only safe, but offers health benefits. We suggest avoiding oxygen-depriving exercises like heavy weightlifting or marathon running. Two great rules of thumb while working out: keep your pulse rate under 140 or maintain the ability to converse with your exercise partner!

Answer 9

Exercises to avoid: Heavy weight lifting, stairs, rope jumping should be avoided.

Answer 10

No: There is no line of distinction as to how much alcohol is harmful in pregnancy, so we generally recommend avoiding alcohol.

Answer 11

NO: Alcohol use during pregnancy is not recommended so to give your baby the safest possible pregnancy you can give, avoid alcohol until you give birth and are no longer breast feeding. Best wishes.

Answer 12

Yes: Just make sure it is well ventilated.

Answer 13

Different ones : Each bug spray or insect repellent is different with different formulations. Usually the ones currently in market are safe, but read the insert that came with the product. Keep away from anything with deet on in. Check the insert.

Answer 14

Yes: Moderate caffeine consumption is fine.

Answer 15

Coffee: It is usually safe to drink one cup of coffee a day as long as you do not drink any other caffeinated beverages. However, i would always recommend that you check with your own doctor in case you have any issues or complications with your pregnancy that the doctor would advise you to avoid caffeine. Good luck!
