Patient's question:
My period is 10 days late, I bought a pregnancy test and it showed positive. In 10 more days, I will go to the hospital for an ultrasound, but nothing was found. Then I had a urine test, and the HCG level was normal, but the progesterone level was very low, only equivalent to the level of someone who is not pregnant. Could I have had a miscarriage, or is there another reason?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, if the early pregnancy test is positive, it can basically be diagnosed as pregnancy. Your condition should be a natural miscarriage after getting pregnant. It takes three or more natural miscarriages to be considered habitual abortion, and yours does not qualify as such yet. The causes of miscarriage are related to low hCG and progesterone levels. It is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for hCG and progesterone tests if you get pregnant again next time to check if everything is normal. If the levels are low, timely treatment to preserve the pregnancy should be administered. I hope this helps, and wish you health and happiness.
