I'm 15 weeks pregnant and just got my NT scan and double marker tests done. I'm worried about my results and need to know if they're normal. My FBHCG is 193 ngmlis that okay? Also, my biochemical T21 risk is 1:178. Does that mean there's a significant risk? My nuchal translucency is 1.7 mm and NT MoM is 1.09. My report mentions the trisomy 21 risk is negative, as well as the trisomy 1318 screen. Can you help me understand what all this means?

Based on your report, your parameters appear normal: the free beta-hCG (193ngml) is within the typical range for 15 weeks gestation, the biochemical T21 risk (1:178) is considered low-risk, and the nuchal translucency (1.7mm) with a MoM of 1.09 is also within normal limits, and with the trisomy 21, 13, and 18 screens all reported as negative, your results indicate a low risk for these chromosomal abnormalities.

My friend is wondering if it's okay to use lubricants while not using a condom. Are there certain types of lubricants that are safe to use without a condom?

Yes, lubricants can be used without a condom. However, it's important to choose water-based or silicone-based lubricants, as they are safe for direct skin contact and won't cause irritation. Always ensure the lubricant is compatible with your needs, especially for sensitive areas.

I'm two months pregnant and having a hard time drinking water. Is it okay if I drink Electral powder with water every day instead? I'm really concerned about staying hydrated.

It's generally safe to drink Electral (oral rehydration solution) in moderation during pregnancy if you're having trouble drinking plain water. It helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance, but it's important not to overdo it. If you're concerned, it's always best to consult your doctor.

How many days after period can you not get pregnant?

You're most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you're most likely to get pregnant. It's unlikely that you'll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.
