Patient's question:
On April 1st, I had a laparoscopic surgery. On April 25th, I had my period. It lasted until around April 30th. In early May, on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th, I had intercourse with my ex many times. After that, I only had intercourse with my current husband. On May 11th, I went to the hospital for a transvaginal ultrasound to monitor menopause-related data. At that time, the follicle size was 0.92×0.66 cm. On May 14th, the follicle size was 1.44×1.28 cm. On May 17th, the follicle size was 1.86×1.82 cm. The doctor asked me and my husband to have intercourse on these days. On May 19th, the follicle size was 2.21×2.09 cm during a follow-up ultrasound, and the doctor recommended an anesthesia shot of 10,000 units of an ovulation-inducing drug, which I received. On May 20th, I had intercourse. The doctor initially asked me to return for a follow-up on May 21st to check if I had ovulated, but I didn’t go. On June 1st, I went to the hospital for a blood test, and the hCG level was 76.36, indicating I was pregnant. On June 9th, I had another transvaginal ultrasound, which showed a 0.9×0.4 cm echo-free area detected in the uterine cavity. On June 24th, I had a second ultrasound, which detected a 3.5×2.9 cm gestational sac in the uterine cavity, with an estimated gestational age of about 50 days. I would appreciate it if the doctors could carefully review this. Could the numerous times I had intercourse with my ex initially potentially lead to a miscarriage? Is the child my husband’s?Doctor's answer:
In your case, there's no need to be in a hurry. This should be your husband's child. It's possible you conceived on May 20th.1. Currently in the early stages of pregnancy, please focus on taking folic acid tablets, pay attention to your diet, enhance nutrition, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as protein-rich foods.
2. Abstain from sexual activity for three months.
3. Avoid spicy foods and cold foods.
4. Undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
