I want to ask how to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Last year, on the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, I had a miscarriage due to expiration. The reason has been two or three months, with no fetal bud or fetal heartbeat, leading to a D&C procedure. On the 25th day of the first month, my last menstrual period arrived. Using a pregnancy test, it showed positive. However, an ultrasound could not confirm it.

Doctor's answer:

Your situation suggests that at 40 days of pregnancy, it may still be too early for the ultrasound to detect it accurately. A recheck in one week should suffice. Meanwhile, pay attention to the careful examination of blood hCG and progesterone to ensure normal growth and avoid excessive anxiety. It is recommended to check blood hCG and progesterone every three days, in conjunction with the ultrasound check after one week, to rule out ectopic pregnancy.
Additionally, during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
