Patient's question:
I just got my urine test results and found out I'm 4 weeks pregnant, but the doctor said my progesterone level is low, which might indicate an ectopic pregnancy. How long can an ectopic pregnancy be detected?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the low progesterone level alone, it cannot confirm an ectopic pregnancy. You can first focus on careful observation. Around the 35th day, have a thorough ultrasound examination. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy, the gestational sac should generally be visible within the uterine cavity. Currently, with low progesterone, you can supplement progesterone under the guidance of a doctor and have periodic follow-up tests. During pregnancy, it is also important to have regular prenatal check-ups and maintain a positive mood with a proper diet.
