good day, how soon should i see my doctor after getting a positive hpt. i previously had 2 miscarriages and an ectopic, so would my pregnancy be considered high risk?

Question

I am 5 weeks pregnant but this morning i started bleeding a bit. Is this normal in early pregnancy or am i miscarrying? I have taken 4 hpt and all are positive but i started bleeding this morning. It isnt a lot, but its enough to scare me. My doctor said

Answer 1

Now: Ideally you should see your doctor before you plan to get pregnant so that you may have a baseline examination and be taking pre-natal vitamins. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Answer 2

Yes: Given your history, so you should see your obstetrician ASAP

Answer 3

Ice: Try to limit the pain killers. Usually an absolute max is 8/day. It depends on the drug and the strength. Cold packs for 15-20 minutes at a time can help. There are many different meds to try if the 1 you are using is not effective.

Answer 4

Question cut off.: You may use the med as prescribed - sounds like 2 pills every four hours. I suspect this was a narcotic med combined with acetaminophen. Be careful not to exceed 4000 mg of Acetaminophen daily. 650 mg of tylenol 6 times a day would generally be safe for short periods of time.

Answer 5

Need full evaluation: A person with hearing problems since age 5 years will have had evaluations by her pediatrician or primary care doctor, been referred to an audiologist for complete testing, and been seen by an ENT doctor to find out if there is any correctable disorder causing the hearing problems. If these things have not been done, she should write down her story and take it to her primary care doctor to start.

Answer 6

50-60% of childhood: hearing loss is genetic; 40-50% is environmental. Pendred Syndrome causes 5-10% of inherited hearing loss & also causes hypothyroidism. It's caused by inheriting a specific gene mutation on Chromosome 7 from each parent. Take all your hearing test results from birth till now to your doctor & request a Chromosomal Microarray & referral to an ear doctor & an audiologist for assessment & treatment.

Answer 7

Correct!: This early in pregnancy makes it difficult to discern whether it is a developing fetus in the egg sac or a "blighted ovum" of a possible miscarrriage. The "tincture of time" will tell the difference. Be patient as mother nature works on her own schedule.

Answer 8

Agree with Dr. I: You may get blood test for HCG level and repeat it in 2-3 days. In a healthy pregnancy HCG levels should double every 2 days or so.

Answer 9

Rest: It sounds more like cervical radiculopathy, or nerve symptoms originating from your neck. Many of these improve on their own. Some of these also cause shoulder and rotator cuff problems. Visit your friendly neighborhood orthopod or sports medicine doc so we can give you an individualized answer after an examination.

Answer 10

Hand numbness: There is a good chance that what you are describing is carpal tunnel syndrome. If this continues wear a wrist splint at night. If this does not solve the numbness then you need to discuss this with your doctor.
