Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Both doctors are right. Folic acid is an essential supplement in the first trimester as it prevents neural tube defects and other anomalies. Progesterone is a good support to pregnancy in some cases (not in your case but there is no harm). Aspirin is useful in some cases of repeated pregnancy loss (also not in your case but there is no harm).
If it was me I would only suggest Folic acid, but as I said the other drugs will not harm.
As for the ultrasound, the pregnancy should be visible by the transvaginal ultrasound at this stage, or after one week or ten days by the abdominal probe.
Presence of trisomy in a previous baby while both parents are normal means that this was incidental and no repetition is expected, so I wish you a successful pregnancy this time ending in a healthy beautiful baby.
I wish, I have answered your query and will be happy to answer more questions from you.
Good luck.
Dr. Ahmed Bahaa.

Hi, happy to answer you again.
All progesterones are good but the vaginal or rectal route is more potent than the oral.
The HCG level is very good and no need to be repeated.
You may have an abdominal scan after one week or ten days.
I am interested to know the results of your scan and to answer any more queries.
Good luck.

Hi, thank you for these questions.
It seems that your doctors are taking extra precautions with you as they advise you bed rest, just like the extra drugs you are taking.
The aim is to avoid straining (cough, constipation, lifting heavy objects, intercourse). Resting in bed all day is not good. There must be some movement.
You can sleep at any position you feel comfortable with.
Breast enlargement is a normal physiological change.
The metallic taste, burps, nausea and even vomiting are all normal, indicating a stable and healthy pregnancy. Your doctor may prescribe you symptomatic treatment for these if you cannot bear them (antacids and antiemetcs).
Writing to answer more queries from you.
Good luck.

Hi again.
Positive Lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipn antibodies, together with a history of repeated pregnancy loss is a diagnosis of APAS (antiphospholipid antibody syndrome).
It is not necessary to go in depth in this syndrome but it's recognized treatment is low dose aspirin together with heparin. Also corticosteroids may have a role.
From your history you do not have APAS, and we cannot rely on a single investigation.
The previous abortus was trisomic and not related to APAS.
My advice is not to worry and continue on your treatment.
I am still interested to know the results of your ultrasound scan and your routine labs.
Good luck.

Hi,
It's good to know that your ultrasound is ok.
The values I need to know are:
Hb level
PT, PTT, INR
Platelet count
Fasting and 2 hours blood sugar after 100 gm glucose load (or any other test to screen for diabetes)
Rubella IGg level
urine analysis
Optional tests include screening for hepatitis B,C and HIV.
also the ultrasound report for accurate calculation of dates and to estimate the due date (CRL)
Thank you.

Hi, sorry for being late.
I am happy to know these results. All the results are reassuring. your Hb is perfect, also your blood sugar level.
You don't have rubella I.e. no fear of exposure.
I advise you to continue on your treatment including aspirin.
waiting for your ultrasound report.
