Hormonal shifts slow down bowel movements, leading to bloating and flatulence. If it gets too uncomfortable, your doctor can suggest safe antacids.
With my PCOS, my ovulation dates were always messed up, so my hCG levels were quite low initially. I had to use the first morning urine to get an accurate result, otherwise, it kept showing negative. I'd highly recommend using the first morning one to avoid confusion.
I am so, so sorry for your loss, sending you a tight hug. It is incredibly painful, and seeing a positive test can be so emotional and confusing. Yes, HCG remains in the system for some time, please be gentle with yourself right now.
I was reading about ultrasound terms and found that RI measures blood flow resistance in the womb. It sounds a bit technical, but I think as long as your doctor is happy with the scan, everything should be perfectly fine!
Generally, the first blood work is done around the 6th to 8th week when you go for your first gynac visit. They check your Hb levels, blood group, and other basic parameters to ensure a healthy journey. It's a great first step, all the best!
