high tech ultrasound

[grecksta]

Hello every one i went for my ultrasound last 2 weeks ago

and the baby is fine i went to the doc to get an ultrasound done as all my preg symptoms just vanished this happened prior to having lachlan and this is when i lost the preg but didnt know at the time as they called it a missed miscarriage where there is no bleeding nothing and it dosent exit the body and you wouldnt know. but everything was fine i have not been able to get back to the doc yet as she is very very busy soo my curiosity is killing me i was wondering if any of you experienced people would know some of the meanings on my report..

'thre is a persumed implantation bleed around the sac.' she asked me if i was bleeding but im not you could see a dark area thats where she said i was bleeding it wasnt in with the baby so should there be anyhing to worry about?

also

"there is a presumed corpus leteum in the left ovary" well i have no idea about this one i asked my mum and she had a thought that it may be a egg left in the ovary but she cant remember exactly she was a registered nurse 20 yrs ago

so any help will be muchly appreciated

Thanks again Jodie

hi,

i think this may help you out. For implantation bleeding-

Implantation Bleeding

What does implantation bleeding look like?
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding.

When does implantation bleeding usually occur?
It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.

Should I worry about implantation bleeding occurring?
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about.

If this is implantation bleeding, when can I test to see if I am pregnant?
Home pregnancy tests are based on a very simple principle. They work by through the detection of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. This hormone is a hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after a fertilized egg has been implanted in the uterine lining.
If a woman is pregnant, the amount of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in her system should be around 25 mIU at 10 dpo (days past ovulation), 50 mIU at 12 dpo, 100 mIU at around two weeks dpo. Because of their high sensitivity factor ( 20 mIU/ml hCG ) in detecting human hCG, both the AimStick pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past ovulation. To help lower the chances of a false negative, the best time to test at 9 or 10 days past ovulation would be advisable.

I am searching for the other query.

hi,

i think you have a corpus luteum cyst.

Corpus Luteum Cyst of Pregnancy

by Marjorie Greenfield, M.D.
reviewed and revised by Marjorie Greenfield, M.D.
Many women go for a routine ultrasound or pelvic examination early in their pregnancy and come away with the surprise finding of an ovarian cyst. Usually, this cyst comes from the corpus luteum. After an egg is released from the ovary, the corpus luteum is responsible for making the hormone progesterone. It is this hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy.

A typical corpus luteum is round and fluid-filled and can range in size from less than two centimeters (about an inch) to six centimeters or more. On ultrasound, a fluid-filled (cystic) structure greater than three centimeters is technically classified as an ovarian cyst, even though it may well represent a normal finding.

Ovarian cysts usually don't cause any symptoms. In fact, corpus luteum cysts appear toward the end of the menstrual cycle, last into early pregnancy, and then usually resolve over a period of time without any special treatment.

Complications of ovarian cysts
Occasionally a cyst will rupture, causing several hours of pain, followed by an aching feeling for a few more days. The pain often will be severe enough for a woman to go to the doctor or the emergency room, but the cause of the pain is usually obvious on ultrasound and the symptoms usually have begun to resolve by the time an evaluation is done.

A cyst will in rare instances cause the ovary to twist (ovarian torsion), cutting off its blood supply and resulting in pain and nausea. Ovarian torsion requires surgery to untwist the ovary and remove the cyst. The symptoms of a ruptured cyst or ovarian torsion are not subtle. A woman usually knows there is something terribly wrong and seeks medical care.

How to deal with a cyst
If you have an ovarian cyst with only mild symptoms, rest assured that a significant complication is not likely to occur and you can go about your regular activities. Sometimes a cyst ruptures during sex, so your practitioner might recommend avoiding intercourse until the cyst resolves. Discuss with your practitioner any other activity concerns you might have. And remember: Corpus luteum cysts usually resolve painlessly by the beginning of the second trimester.

I have got all this info from google but i think that you should get it all checked out with the doctor.

Best of luck.:fingerscrossed:
