Patient's question:
I don't know if I'm pregnant. The test didn't show anything, but I've missed my period, and I also have some pregnancy symptoms. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy? If so, please ask: What are the problems with ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is unlikely. Generally, ectopic pregnancy progesterone levels are low, usually below 20, making the possibility of ectopic pregnancy relatively small. However, from the careful examination results, the low hCG value could also be due to a short pregnancy duration. You can continuously monitor the hCG value to see how it progresses normally. After conception, the hCG value usually doubles every other day, with a very rapid growth rate. Alternatively, you can wait until six weeks of pregnancy and have an MRI examination at the hospital to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. The estimated time of pregnancy starts from the first day of the last menstrual period. For ectopic pregnancy patients, in addition to taking medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care measures, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
