Patient's question:
At 7 weeks of pregnancy, the ultrasound showed fetal heartbeat and fetal stalk, but there was 1.0 cm of fluid near the gestational sac. Progesterone was low, so I started taking pregnancy preservation tablets and progesterone capsules.At 8 weeks, a follow-up ultrasound showed that the fluid near the gestational sac remained at 1.6 cm. I focused on taking the medication diligently.
At 10 weeks, another follow-up ultrasound showed that the fluid near the gestational sac was still 1.6 cm. I continued to take pregnancy preservation tablets and progesterone, increasing the progesterone dosage.
Currently at 12 weeks, I am about to have an NT test, and I am very worried. I have been taking pregnancy preservation tablets for over a month and one progesterone capsule daily. Will this affect the baby in the future? I’ve heard online that "all medicine is poison in three doses," and I’m concerned whether it will cause problems for the child’s growth and development.
Doctor's answer:
Baotailing is a traditional Chinese medicine. Taking Baotailing does not interfere with the fetus. Generally, it is not necessary to continue taking it after the fetus stabilizes. After conception, a woman's progesterone and HCG levels in the body will rise significantly, and progesterone is the hormone that possesses progesterone. It will never have an impact on the child. If a thorough examination reveals low progesterone levels, then progesterone injections or oral progesterone should be administered. The above suggestions are for the question "7 weeks pregnant with fetal heartbeat and fetal bud on ultrasound but with fluid near the gestational sac 1". I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
