Patient's question:
Last menstrual period was on March 25. Below are the hCG results from March 24 and a detailed check on March 26. Can this indicate an ectopic pregnancy? Are there any issues?Doctor's answer:
It is unlikely to be an ectopic pregnancy, as the progesterone level in ectopic pregnancy is usually low, generally below 20, making the possibility of ectopic pregnancy relatively small.Guidance and Suggestions: However, based on the careful examination results, the low hCG value may also be due to a short gestation period. You can continuously monitor the hCG value to see if it normalizes. After pregnancy, the hCG value generally doubles every other day, with a rapid growth rate. Alternatively, you can wait until six weeks of pregnancy and undergo an MRI examination at the hospital to confirm whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy. The pregnancy duration is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period.
