How is the growth and development of the child normal?

Patient's question:

On November 30th, I had my period. On January 8th, I took a urine test, which showed progesterone 17.14 and hCG 9511. How is the child's growth and development? How should I interpret the hCG levels? Thank you, doctor

Doctor's answer:

In your case, if there was no contraception during cohabitation, a blood test to check hCG and progesterone can confirm pregnancy. Since it's an early stage, the fertilized egg may not have entered the uterine cavity yet. You should relax and take it easy, and have a follow-up ultrasound after one week to understand the position and size of the gestational sac in the uterine cavity.
It's recommended to maintain a regular lifestyle, balanced nutrition, proper diet, sufficient deep sleep, and relaxation during early pregnancy. After one week, have a follow-up ultrasound to confirm the position and size of the gestational sac and confirm an intrauterine pregnancy.
