Hello Doctor,
I am currently pregnant around 11 weeks. I have a past history of urticaria (hives) about 8 years ago.
Since yesterday, I am experiencing severe itching all over my body along with red, raised rashes that appear in patches/lines and keep changing location. The itching is present throughout the day and night.
Today I consulted a doctor and was given an injection for allergy and prescribed Lacto Calamine lotion, but the itching is still continuing.
I would like to know:
1. Can I take a safe antihistamine tablet during pregnancy (like cetirizine)?
2. Do I need any further treatment or tests?
3. Is this condition harmful to my baby?
Please advise on safe treatment options.
Thank you.
Hello doc
My age is 35, and recently did a scan which was measuring 6 weeks pregnancy with cardiac activity after two weeks scan is showing again 6 weeks with no cardiac activity with fetal pole and yolk sac but I'm not bleeding still nausea and also exclusively breastfeeding my 1.5 year old.plz tell me whats wrong that suddenly it stops growth?
Had unprotected intercourse on March 16 for a few minutes, but ejaculation did not occur inside the vagina. Within about 8 hours, I took an emergency contraceptive pill (Unwanted 72).
My last menstrual period started on March 3, and my cycle is usually regular (around 30 days). According to my ovulation tracker, ovulation was expected around March 19–21.
On March 30, around 1 PM, I started experiencing abdominal pain, and then I noticed that my period had started. I had bleeding twice during the day, then again around 11 PM the same night. The next day, I had slight bleeding again around 8 AM.
After that, there was no bright red bleeding. I only had a small amount of brown discharge once, and then everything stopped.
The bleeding was not continuous and was lighter than my usual periods.
I am concerned about:
Whether this bleeding is normal after taking an emergency pill
Whether this could be implantation bleeding
Whether pregnancy is still possible in my case
& the next periods dates
Hi Doctor
My normal LMP was on 27 Nov 2025
Sexually active in december
Light bleeding on 26 dec 2025
Mid-Jan to mid-Feb nausea, vomiting, fatigue, breast tenderness, constipation/diarrhea, constant pain on one side of lower abdomen
UPTs were faint-positive to negative(recently taken yesterday)
Beta hcg on 1st Feb- <2.3miu/ml
4th Feb <0.2miu/ml
8th March 0.5miu/ml
I feel like twitching in lower abdomen on one side, swollen but no tenderness in breast and a bit of tummy
Is any type of pregnancy possible with these beta hcg readings?
Cryptic, ectopic or molar pregnancy?
is beta hcg undetectable due to hook effect or variant hook effect?
I have been reading online where people dont notice they are pregnant up until Labour cause of lack of Symptoms, undetectable hcg due to hormonal imbalance, got periods throughout pregnancy or unrecognizable fetal movements and tummy growth due to retroverted uterus/anterior placenta.
Is it possible that I have undetected pregnancy in my case?
I've had a yeast infection (itching with white curdy discharge)last dec and I consulted a gynae who prescribed me suppository for a week after which discharge stopped but itching persisted. I again consulted the same doc and she took a swab and the result came to be positive for E fecalis and she again prescribed Ampicillin and I took a whole course of it. But still the itching persisted and this time discharge was also noticed but this time the discharge was smooth creamy cheese like in consistency for which I consulted another gynae who prescribed me the same set of antifungal suppository and I used it again and was relieved for like a week and the itching reappeared again but this time there was a very offensive odor and a peculiar discharge which does not seem to be fungal. I get itching which is severe ,not everytime but it appears for sometime and then disappears along with unpleasant odor. I suppose it is BV. I don't have energy to visit gynaec again pls help
