Pregnancy Scan Report Showing Single Fetus, No Corpus Luteal Cyst. Advised With Ovipure Injection. What Is The Action Of This?

Posted on Thu, 5 Jul 2012

Question: Hi, Iam pregnant now went for my first scan today. it shows single fetus sac which is 5 weeks 6 days. no corpus lueteum cyst.
by seeing this report my dr advised me to take Ovipure injection for 6 more weeks. i.e. two injection per week.

why this injection is required? will this cause any side effect? is it something like injecting sperms directly? i am confused. Taking this injection is necessary? can i avoid this?

note. this is my second preg and first preg i did not had this issue.

please answer me ASAP

Thanks

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The scan report says that you have a intra uterine pregnancy of 5 wks 6days.But apart from the sac,there is no fetal node or heart beat yet.Normally those are present by 6 weeks of gestation.Your doctor has given you that injection for supporting the pregnancy.You may also be advised to have a follow up scan after 2 weeks.The injection wont have side effects as such.Its just given to help support your gestation.
I see no harm in taking this injection.But you should have a follow up scan also after 2 weeks. Its a simple injection taken the usual way.

Thanks for your clarification Doctor. Yes My doctor told to have a scan after 2 weeks. If in the follow up scan shows corpus lueteum cyst in the report then can i stop this injection. Or is it must to take this injection till my 12th week? i am not comfortable with this injection some how i am feeling like its not natural.. so much medication i am giving to my baby...

And my doctor says the deficiency is due to POC. what is meant by this? What is the cause of POC? is it common? what can i do to avoid this?

This injection has been given to help support your pregnancy.It wont harm the fetus. All in all,it may help sustain your pregnancy and avoid a miscarriage. The threat is a miscarriage is maximum in the first trimester.Hence this injection has been given to you to help sustain the pregnancy.This might occur due to the deficiency of hormones like progesterone.This injection will help reduce that deficiency.

If Corpus lueteum cyst found in my next scan can i discuss with my doctor and stop the injection from 9th week onwards?

Answered by Dr. Rhea Chanda (11 hours later)

Corpus luteal cyst is commonly seen in early pregnancy.Presence or absence of he cyst isnt related to the injections.It would be better for you to take the injections since the hormone deficiency is being corrected that way.
I would leave it to the discretion of your doctor after the follow up scan is done whether to stop the injections or not.There is no harm in taking the injections to your fetus.
