The Hannah Medical Center is proud to announce the launch of a new website featuring several free tools for those who may be or definitely are pregnant.
The online pregnancy test is a pregnancy probability calculator which can help you guessimate if you really are pregnant based on the date of your last period, the symptoms you are experiencing, and the type of contraception used.
The pregnancy calculator can help determine the due date, the likely conception date, and the end of the first & second trimesters. It can also tell you how many weeks you have been pregnant as well as how many weeks you will have been pregnant on a given date.
The ovulation fertility calculator can find out when your ovulation date is and let you know when you are most fertile.
The pregnancy due date calculator will determine the likely due date of your child.
The last tool is the pregnancy weight gain calculator which will give you an estimate of how much you should weigh based on your weight before conception and how many weeks along you are. As everyone’s weight varies, there is also a chart to refer to on that page to help you get a better idea of how your growth progress is coming along.
These tools are offered to the general public at no charge and can be found at www.OnlinePregnancyTest.biz.
Dear Hannah,
I have had 2 miscarriages since Christmas. I have had a period since, but it lasted 13 days: my period started on the 8th of July and lasted 13 days. I haven’t had anything since. Should I see my doctor? I have done a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. Bobby
Dear Bobby,
Though no single person is “typical,” the average woman’s next period will be 28 days after a miscarriage. However, great exceptions from this “norm” are not abnormal at all. Having had two miscarriages in the last year will definitely throw your regular body cycles into irregularity. A period lasting 13 days (if it was your period) is something to be concerned about. It would be safest to make an appointment with your OB/GYN right away.
Your irregular menstrual cycle could be still resulting from the two miscarriages. The 13 day bleeding may be early pregnancy bleeding and not your period, even if your pregnancy test turned out negative. On the other hand, the irregularity in your period and the prolonged bleeding could be resulting from something more serious and you would not be making a mistake to have your professional physician look into this immediately.
As someone once said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Best of luck,
Hannah
