Pregnancy Question: what effect does heparin have on a fetus? I m currently in my 5th month with deep vein thrombophlebitis and using heparin.
It doesn’t appear to be much. There is always a risk of bleeding into the placenta, but the direct risk to the fetus, concerning birth defects, appears small to none. Fertility Question: I was pregnant in 1994 and had the pregnancy terminated in the eighth week of gestation. I had my follow up check up and was told everything went fine. I am now 35 years old and trying to conceive a child. Not using birth control since 1994, I found it odd that I did not conceive. I went to a gynecologist and had the regular exams and was told my PAP smear was normal and no blood disorders found. The Doctor suggested I have a HSG exam performed, and I did. The results revealed bilateral blocked tubes distal(nearest ovaries). They then suggested I have a pelvic sonogram to see if the uterus looked fine. I would like to know what procedures can be done to rectify this problem, is it costly, painful, and what are the chances of success. I would also like to know what causes this condition.
