Question : its been two and a half years for my marriage now. i had conceived the very first month after we planned for a baby that is after 2 years of marriage. but i miscarried at 8 weeks as there was no heart beat. after that i had 5 cycles. first 2 cycle we did not try and i am trying from last 3 months but no luck yet. i have consulted a doctor she has suggested me to take injections for follicles rupture. i wanted to know whether it is safe? or should i try to conceive naturally and is transvaginal ultrasound safe? because every time i visit her she does that and next day if i have sex i get a burning sensation in my vagina. i am not sure if its because of that

Brief Answer:
Injection as well as transvaginal ultrasound is safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can understand your concerns,

During follicular study, if size of follicle goes more than 20mm and it does not rupture - in that case injection HCG is advisable. It is safe to take it. Further transvaginal ultrasound is completely safe.

I want to know what your transvaginal ultrasound report says? kindly upload your report so that I can explain you.

Hoping to hear from you soon,

hope it helps.

Asprin is safe.progressive motility is in normal range.

Hello,

sorry for late response,

1.asprin is safe.

2.sometimes uterine lining and a developing fetus can develop a blood clot, which may lead to a miscarriage, aspirin may be your best bet to reduce your chance of miscarriage in the future.

3.Any trauma,implantation bleeding,ectopic pregnancy,subchorionic bleed,local lesion are causes of spotting in first trimester.

4.above 32% is normal.

Hope it helps.
