Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over a month. During this time, I had a thorough check-up, and the results showed hCG at 2300. Can this rule out an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
This situation does not rule out ectopic pregnancy. If the value is this low after more than a month, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is still very high. Under normal circumstances, a blood test after pregnancy for more than a month should show values in the thousands. It is recommended that you wait for two days and then check again. If the value doubles well, it could also be a case of a later personal delivery time, which would be fine. A single value cannot confirm this.
