Why did my doctor give medicines when there was no fetus detected?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 26 year old female. I had got positive pregnancy by the urine test. I scanned by ultrasound but there was no detection of the fetus. My last period was two months ago. And my missed period was last month. My doctor gave me FOL-XT and Miprogen 200 mg. I am confused about tablets. Should I have to take them or not?

Please advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your urine test is weakly positive. It means your pregnancy may have occurred late, hence not detected on ultrasound. Sometimes, in these cases, there is a risk of miscarriage. So, the doctor has given the medicines to protect from such occurrence. You can take it and repeat the pregnancy test every week and ultrasound after two weeks.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
