What are the hcg levels like typically after vanishing twin syndrome?


I had a miscarriage.My hCG level has gone from strongly positive to faintly, barely positive with an early detection first response test after my miscarriage.Some suggest it could be VTS. But how could it be if the HCG levels are so low and declining? I had heavy bleeding during my miscarriage for 5 days and passed grey and brown tissue and experienced a lot of pain.
----------

I lost a twin to VTS about 5 weeks ago. My levels were never tested after I lost the twin, but from what I have read, the levels don't decrease they just don't continue to go up as fast as they did with twins. I didn't have any signs or symptoms of a miscarriage, but I was told that I might. Did they not do an ultrasound to check things? We found out that one of the babies had stopped developing during a follow-up ultrasound. The other baby was still there and growing right on schedule. My advice would be to phone your doctor and ask them. Maybe there will do a scan and see if anything is still in there. Good luck.  (+ info)

Symptoms of Brown-Seguard syndrome NEED HELP!?


The Brown-seguard syndrome is due to an injury on one side of the spinal cord. It is characterized by paralysis below the injury and on the same side as the injury, and by loss of sensations of temperature and pain on the opposite side. How would you explain these symptoms?
----------

It has to do where the spinal tracks cross on the way up the spine.

Sudden brown discharge?? POC syndrome?


The last two months, my period was unusually painfull. I had cramps, that made me cry, and even scream, because i couldnt stand it. It was very brown, and tar like, which is also very unusual. I didnt bleed as much as usually, slightly less. I am 22 years old.

Yesterday I went to the gyn, and he did an ultrasound. He said I have polycistic ovaries, thus POC syndrome. My last period started april 20 th.

Today i had some brown discharge on my underwear. looks like the beginning of the period, but is way less, and i had no other period sings (lower abdomen pain, breastsoreness etc.)

What could this be? The blood doesnt look like fresh blood.

Also a few days ago, I felt an infection coming on, also had a few antibiotics, as prescribed, and it went by. COuld it be connected to that? Please help me...thanx
----------

PCOS could explain the cramping but not the brown discharge. You mentioned that you felt an infection coming on but did not provide much detail so I'm assuming your infection was the cause of your discharge. I really think you need to go back to gynecologist and schedule time to discuss your current symptoms and treatment. Prepare a list of questions before the visit so that you won't leave out anything you need the answer to.

I've included 2 links for you to get more information on PCOS, it's symptoms, and treatment. I wish you the best of luck!  (+ info)

What is so bad about having down syndrome?


I think people are a lot colder than they want you to believe. Too many pregnancies prediagnosed with down syndrome are terminated! Doctors tell people that their kid will be like some animal and people believe them. I've met my share of people with down syndrome, and they all seem pretty human to me. On top of that, they were all decent folks, which is a lot more than I can say for the general population. And how does knowing that unborn children are purged because of down syndrome affect those who were born and have down syndrome?
----------

WOW!! I'm so glad that there are other people who's lives have been touched as mine has. See when I was 28 I gave birth to twin girls and one of them was born with Mosaic down syndrome. Of course, I didn't know much about it til now....and yes I was shocked. They are 14 months old now, and such a blessing as well as my two boys. My daughter is about 4 months behind in her milestones, but she is always so happy! Out of all my kids she is the easiest to handle.

It's always nice to have other people, who see that they are more alike, then different from the rest of us.  (+ info)

What is the syndrome called when you cannot feel physical pain?


I remember watching a show a long time ago, and this one little girl was born with a syndrome where she could never feel pain. If she fell on the floor and cut her knee, she wouldn't cry, whereas most children would.

What is this called? Is it a syndrome? Is it a medical condition? I just want to know what it's called, and I can do the research on it.

It is for a story I am writing but I don't entirely know what it is.
----------

It's called "congenital insensitivity to pain"  (+ info)
