Brief Answer: Your pregnancy is viable Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Sorry for the delay in answering. I am medical doctor, an associate in Department of Gynecology, working with an experienced Gynecologist. I answer on her behalf. Based on the HCG levels you mentioned, I consider your pregnancy is viable. Further testing of the well-being by an Ultrasound scan is good. The medications you are on are good and would suffice for now. Only after complete blood investigations need for any other supplements can be identified. Regards,
