A sudden heavy period may be the result of normal hormonal fluctuations or a side effect of birth control. However, heavy periods can also indicate an underlying health condition. A person should talk to their doctor if they experience heavy bleeding or cramping that prevents them from completing normal activities

I've been diagnosed with a 4.5cm chocolate cyst and my doctor suggested laparoscopic surgery. Is this procedure safe and will it affect my chances of getting pregnant afterward? Also how long does recovery usually take after this type of surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery for a chocolate cyst is generally safe and can even improve fertility chances after surgery. While there are some risks associated with any surgery, the laparoscopic approach is minimally invasive, reducing the risk of complications. Recovery usually takes a week or two, with most activities resumed within that timeframe

Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?

No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.
