Patient's question:
When the period is delayed by one day, lower abdominal pain on both sides starts occasionally. On the fifth day of the delay, a morning pregnancy test shows strong positive. Two days later, on the seventh day of the delayed period, a blood test at the hospital reveals progesterone 185 and HCG 3978. The doctor says it should be an intrauterine pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Your numbers are high, so the possibility of ectopic pregnancy is not great. However, if you have doubts, you can have another blood test. If it is ectopic pregnancy, the changes in the numbers from two careful checks will not be significant. If it is normal, the changes in the two numbers will be very large. Either way, abdominal pain can occur.Doctor's advice: In fact, having ectopic pregnancy is not frightening. The patient should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
