Patient's question:
I tested and found out I'm 36 days pregnant. I'm worried it might be an ectopic pregnancy. I'd like to ask, what is the hCG value for an ectopic pregnancy at 36 days?Doctor's answer:
At 36 days pregnant, it is equivalent to being in the fifth week of pregnancy, and the hCG level will never exceed 1000. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs again during the early stages of pregnancy, both hCG and progesterone levels will be lower than normal, and pain and discomfort will reappear on one side of the lower abdomen. It is possible to carefully observe the location of the gestational sac and its early growth and development changes through ultrasound. It is recommended that patients combine the recent examination results for speculation.
