Patient's question:
I and my husband have been actively trying to conceive. A few weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant using a pregnancy test, and just like a normal pregnancy, my period stopped. However, my HCG levels were very low. The doctor suspected an ectopic pregnancy, and I am really worried now. Could you please tell me how ectopic pregnancy is treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is unlikely. Generally, ectopic pregnancy progesterone levels are low, usually below twenty, making the possibility of ectopic pregnancy relatively small. However, from the careful examination results, the low hCG value may also be due to a short delivery time. You can continuously monitor the hCG value to see how it normalizes. After conception, the hCG value usually doubles every other day, with a very rapid growth rate. Alternatively, you can wait until six weeks after conception and have an MRI examination at the hospital to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. The time of conception is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period.
