Patient's question:
Female, 25 years old. My last menstrual period was on July 4th. This month, my period has not arrived. I have tested with a pregnancy test several times, and the results have all been faintly positive. On August 8th, I had a thorough check-up including an ultrasound, HCG, and progesterone. The ultrasound showed no gestational sac, with an HCG level of 265 and a progesterone level of 13.56. On August 9th, I began to have dark brown discharge, similar in amount to the first day of my period. The only symptom I have is fatigue, with no other discomfort. Is this miscarriage or biochemical pregnancy? Could there be a risk of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is unlikely. Generally, ectopic pregnancy is often accompanied by severe abdominal pain. In this case, you should also pay attention to getting adequate rest and make time to visit a regular hospital for a follow-up check as soon as possible. Depending on the actual situation, under the guidance of a professional doctor, treatment or recuperation for a period of time will be recommended. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits and maintain a regular schedule.
