Patient's question:
Last menstrual period was on the 7th, the menstrual cycle is irregular, sometimes over 30 days. On August 20th, I went to the hospital for a thorough urine test and it showed no pregnancy. On the same day, I had a blood test, and the result was 24.29. The doctor said I should go back to the hospital the next day for another blood test. Is the result of 24.29 from the blood test a sign of ectopic pregnancy? I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
From the results, it should be pregnancy, but ectopic pregnancy or short pregnancy duration cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to actively arrange for a follow-up test in a few days, or check the duration of missed periods. Early pregnancy tests that use urine hCG for testing still have errors, so it is advisable to eat small, frequent meals. Pay attention to safety. It is recommended to check the condition of the endometrium. It is better to eat more fruits and vegetables and rest in bed.
