Brief Answer:
same dose will continue
Detailed Answer:
Yes you will have to continue same dose till you test positive for pregnancy 14 days after rupture of follicle that makes it day 30 of your menstrual cycle.
Low estradiol is usually seen in patients with poor follicle quality but low estradiol is not a documented reason in your case for thin endometrium.
Estrogen will help in gaining good thickness which is thin due to unknown reason in your case.
Estrogen will imbibe good amount of nutrition in endometrium and also support blood vessels already present so that proper growth (hence endometrial thickness) is regained.
Keep taking in prescribed dosage.

Brief Answer:
tablet ondansetron advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, hopefully it is a good sign and probably baby has got implanted in your uterus so giving you symptoms of pregnancy.
But still it can also be the effect of lupigest which has micronised progesterone.
Take tablet ondansetron twice a day till you feel better without it.
It is safe in pregnancy (if there) and doesn't interfere with implantation of the baby either.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
ultrasound and bHCG advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, I understand your anxiety.
Yours is a case of delayed conception and the good news is pregnancy is definitely there.
But the problem part is that there are also chances of tubal ectopic pregnancy so get an ultrasound via transvaginal route.
And in case ultrasound is inconclusive then get a repeat bHCG test after 2 days so that we can see the rise of bHCG and thus relate the findings and manage accordingly.
But active testing is needed so don't waste time and get the tests done as soon as possible.
All the best.

Thanks for the reply Doc,
Is any medicine to be taken ??
Don't you think...an ultrasound finding will be too early to get it done ??
When to repeat beta hcg ??
I have no symptoms of ectopic.

Brief Answer:
start medicine after ultrasound
Detailed Answer:
Yes ultrasound will give us the desired information but in case unequivocal finding is there then repeat bHCG after exactly 48 hours of the pervious test time.
Rise in bHCG to roughly double of the previous one will give reassurance that it is an intrauterine viable pregnancy.
Start with progesterone and estrogen as before after ultrasound report if it shows unequivocal finding or an intrauterine pregnancy.
Symptoms in ectopic pregnancy and early intrauterine pregnancy can be quite similar so cannot be distinguished.
You can discuss the report with me anytime on health care magic.

Brief Answer:
estrogen injection and progesterone patch
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, I understand the compliance problem.
You can look for estrogen patch which is readily available and easy to manage.
For progesterone there is susten or gestone injection available which can be taken once a day and will suffice the purpose but it is very painful at the injection site.
You can try patch for estrogen and injection of progesterone (no estrogen injection available).
Waiting for the report of bHCG and ultrasound and hope it is a favorable one.
All the best.

Brief Answer:
precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, first advise is to relax and stop being anxious.
Yes you are pregnant and the lighter line means most probably it was a little early to test.
As you have given bHCG test the conclusive evidence of pregnancy will be in our hands in a while.
Your prescription is right and thus continue progynova and other medicines as prescribed but I want to add duphaston 10 mg twice a day, you can discuss it with yyour gynecologist it is also a progesterone bit different from micronised progesterone but very good for the growing pregnancy.
Ultrasound on 5th is necessary and thus you should get that done as it will tell us the site of pregnancy whether inside uterus or in fallopian tube (as you had a faint line in urine test).
You can take crocin whenever you feel like but not more than three times a day.
Your blood pressure is also very high and is probably due to anxiety also so just relax as much as possible and stop being anxious.
Stop salt and fried food and avoid heavy work or exertion.
Just get the reports and then we can discuss further management.
All the best.
