Symptoms won't tell if the pregnancy is viable, so what you feel doesn't actually mean/tell anything. For as long as the hCG hormone is in your body you're going to "feel" pregnant--even if the pregnancy is not viable. In terms of if it's too soon or not, it's very likely. At the stage you're in most women will see a sac and MAYBE a fetal pole if they're lucky. A fetal pole and/or heartbeat is usually not seen till 6-8 weeks of pregnancy.

Hi, I'm new here, and my husband is in his 10th month of treatment. Just had his second transfusion, and he isn't bouncing back. They upped his procrit, and he has had to stop taking ribavirin again. He's still on a half dose of pegasus and his viral count is undetectable. His doctor said he hated to pull the rug out from under him last visit, and it looks like I"m going to have to take him before his next visit. I think he may need another transfusion soon.

I was recently diagnosed with a large cyst (5cm) on my left lobe and 2 small cyst on right. Both benign. My questions is I have a constant sore throat and pain in neck and also indigestion/ in stomach every time I eat. I am convinced its my thyroid issues. The endo doc decreased my Liothronine from 37.5mgcg to 20mcg because of side effects. The last thing I want is surgery. Do others her experience these stomach pains/nasusea/sore throats.

Just got my Pegasus and co Pegasus.Was hoping just for just the Pegasus, But there was a study that said non responders faired no better than responders on there study. Why this applies to me I do not know. I am a relapser. This cost the insurance company big money. Any Ideas? At stage 4 i have no time to wait. Have had the same issues getting into the studies. Relapser. Life can be hard at times.

Will the Pegasus work without CoPegasus, I'm getting alot of side effects, I cant sleep and itchy rash's, I can handle the Pegasus alone but the Copegasus makes me feel bad. My liver function test are normal. Has anybody gotten rid of the hep without it?

I I will be taking pegasus soon.can my wife be subjected to any of the drug through oral sex with me ?not a joke question.

After 3 weeks post pegasus/ribivarin (48 weeks responder so far) still suffering with rash, body aches, migraines, insomnia. My energy level is improving but is not great.

What I have heard is that Pegasys has just one dosage because it has larger molecules than PegIntron and therefore mainly stays in your bloodstream while PegIntron with its smaller molecules can find its way where Pegasys can not. Every adult has the same amount of blood independant of body weight, and therefore everyone should have the same amount of Pegasys. One is also not to compare milligrams of Pegasys with milligrams of PegIntron. They are not the same.

Seeing that there not doing any more trials in my area for Sofosbuvir I am now looking at Faldaprevir.Is anyone on a current trial with that right now.Also if you failed treatment with Pegasus,Riba and telaprevir would I still be able to do it?

Which one would you all recommend she go on, the Incivek 12 weeks plus Pegasus 48 or the 44 weeks Victrelis plus Pegasus 48? I think the Incivek has a few more sides but a better success rate. Is that true. Do patients with a lot of Incivek sides normally improve after the 12 weeks? Any info to help in the choice would be great.

I watched The Business of Being Born and one woman they interviewed had to look high and low for a midwife in NY. Maybe watch the video (for free online at letmewatchthis) and see if she mentions where she found them?

Hi I am Viktoriya.First week of treatment with PEGASUS and COPEGUS -feel very bad :fever, headaches, body hearts like- flu but stronger,feeling dizzy. Is it getting better after first week??

I am on vacation for 3 weeks now in Germany.I brought my ribavirine and interferon with me and stored my interferon in the fridge.Today i found out that the fridge is on average 10 degrees Celsius where on the package it says it should be stored at between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. Did i inject my self for three weeks with interferon that didnt work??What should i do with the one injection i still have in this fridge for the remainder of my vacation?? Is 10 degrees really to high??

Sorry if I was rude...I apologize. I don't want to add to your stress. This illness is no picnic. Again, I'm sorry. You don't have to tell anyone at work anything about your health, period!!! Read about employee rights and medical issues. Do cancer patient come to work one day and say "hey boss I got cancer". No way! No one can make you say anything about your health. Your health is your business. It is your legal right to say nothing. It is the law.

Now, I am embracing the fact that the TX is defeating a destructive virus that has been in my body for many decades. The change in disposition helps a lot. We will all be pulling for you. Be proactive in dealing with the SX's as they come up. Hope you can find some way to have a bit of time off to adjust to this TX.
