Patient's question:
Hello, can this be ectopic pregnancy? On December 4th, 30 weeks pregnant, progesterone 15 ng/ml, hCG 322. On December 9th, 35 weeks pregnant, progesterone 72.22 nmol/L, HCG 1960.Doctor's answer:
The two progesterone values have been checked and are still fine. Did the HCG value get written upside down? How come it's still low? This only proves that you are pregnant. Additionally, you will need to have an ultrasound at the hospital ten days after your missed period to check how the gestational sac is developing inside the uterus. For the patient, if the ectopic pregnancy condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. Moreover, the patient should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
