Patient's question:
I was 5 days late with my period last month and took an early pregnancy test, which showed I was pregnant. When I went to the hospital, the HCG levels didn't decrease, but later, the early pregnancy test showed two lines. Could this be a natural miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Based on your current situation, it is unclear how the specific intrauterine embryo is growing and developing. If it is solely based on blood tests and a careful urine examination suggesting the possibility of pregnancy, and then it drops back to the normal range. The absence of a gestational sac in the uterine cavity in such a case is referred to as a false positive early pregnancy consideration. Only changes in the hormonal levels of the blood system are observed, without a gestational sac implanting in the uterine cavity, and it is also necessary to rule out the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy.
