What Causes Mild Vaginal Spotting During 1st Month Of Pregnancy?
Hello, I m 1 month 11days pregnant. I knew about my pregnancy on 3/12/15 through pregnancy kit. After that I visited gynecologist same day. She checked and inform that everything is fine. Next day morning I spotted slightly, I inform Dr. And she started inj. HCG 5000 iu & tab. Hald Sr. Twice a week. My question is that overall my health is fine. Then why she started injection? Is it safe? Any side effects of this injection?

Hallow Dear,
Let me solve your queries one by one.
After confirmation of pregnancy, if some vaginal spotting or bleeding has taken place, it is denoting that the pregnancy is unstable. In fact performing ultrasonography at this stage would inform you following information:
1. Whether the baby is still viable and
2. What is the cause of this spotting.
If the baby is viable, then in order to stabilize the pregnancy, we give either Progesterone or Inj. hCG.
During pregnancy Progesterone is produced by chorionic tissue initially and then by placenta. Progesterone hormone is required to stabilize the pregnancy. Inj. hCG will strengthen chorionic tissue and thus will help stabilizing the pregnancy.
So, your doctor has prescribed you Inj. hCG not for your general health but it is for the supplementation to the chorionic tissue.
I hope this clarifies the confusion and doubts in your mind.
If you feel you have got some very relevant and important information, you may please cast a "Helpful" vote to this information.
