I am 36 years old and 18.5 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I recently had my 2nd trimester ultrasound and all was completely normal except for an echogenic focus on the heart. I did not have any prenatal testing for Down syndrome and am concerned. My doctor did not seem too worried without any additional markers, but I am looking for some reassurance. I will not be having an amnio as it will not change my decision in the outcome, but I was wondering the likelihood of Down syndrome with just this one marker.

I am a 40-year-old female experiencing severe cramps and continuous heavy bleeding for the past three months. The pain radiates to my back and legs, and I have midcycle bleeding in addition to heavy periods. I have not been checked for fibroids this year and cannot see my gynecologist for three weeks. Should I be concerned about this?

I have experienced two miscarriages. What could be the reasons for this, and can my cold be a contributing factor? After my first miscarriage, it took almost a year to get pregnant again. What precautions should I take, and should we start trying to conceive right away or wait? Are there any tests you recommend for both me and my husband, given that we are both healthy and have no family history of miscarriages? Additionally, why did I experience spotting in both pregnancies?

What are fibroids and how do they affect fertility? What are the best options for managing fertility with fibroids, such as having Fallopian tubes flushed out, getting progesterone injections, or considering fertility treatments? How does an OB/GYN determine if a woman's hormone levels are low, and what role does this play in fertility?
