Patient's question:
I had my period on November 19th. On the 16th of this month, I tested positive with a pregnancy test. On the 17th, I had a blood test with HCG: 177.21 and progesterone: 20.64. Today, I had another blood test with HCG: 4798 and progesterone: 179.94. Why hasn't my progesterone increased but decreased instead? Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? Can I have an ultrasound examination tomorrow? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, progesterone levels will gradually decrease, so there's no need to worry. Once your baby is one month old, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check if you can find a gestational sac in the uterus. If you can find it, it means it's an intrauterine pregnancy.Lifestyle care:
Wishing you good health and an early delivery of a healthy baby.
Ectopic pregnancy can cause very serious harm to patients. Once you notice your symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to your diet, focusing on light and nutritious foods. We hope that ectopic pregnancy patients can receive professional treatment.
