How long into pregnancy can you confirm if it is an intrauterine pregnancy?

Patient's question:

At 49 days pregnant, I went to the nearby hospital for a thorough examination. The transvaginal ultrasound did not show a gestational sac, but an intrauterine 143.7 liquid dark area was visible. My friend is very frightened. The HCG level is 1903, and it was 660 at 42 days. The doctor asked me to go to the nearby hospital for another check-up the next day. My menstrual cycle is usually 28~30 days. Could this be an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

This situation is not necessarily an ectopic pregnancy; it could be due to a shorter delivery time or the embryo stopping development in the uterus. At 50 days pregnant, if the gestational sac is not visible, it's important to rest, ensure a balanced diet, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Recheck after seven days. If the embryo's growth and development in the uterus are normal, it's not a problem. In terms of diet, it should be light and nutritious, with regular prenatal check-ups.
In addition to timely treatment for ectopic pregnancy, patients should maintain a positive attitude when facing the disease. Only then can it help reduce patients' immunity and their ability to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding cold or stimulating foods, believing that this will help drive away ectopic pregnancy.
