Patient's question:
The test paper test result shows that you are not pregnant. Why is this? Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? You had one before. You used to sleep a lot during the day and feel cold, but these symptoms are gone now.Doctor's answer:
Generally, if your menstrual period has not arrived within 7 days, it may be a sign of pregnancy. However, if an early pregnancy test shows no pregnancy, it could be due to hormonal imbalance causing menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that you visit a hospital to have blood drawn for an hCG test to check the doubling of hCG levels. If it is an ectopic pregnancy, the hCG level will be lower than expected for the gestational age. Of course, you can also undergo an ultrasound examination to rule out ectopic pregnancy. An ultrasound can typically be performed around the 50th day of pregnancy to observe the gestational sac.When patients are affected by ectopic pregnancy, we should actively conduct thorough examinations and treatments, and avoid delaying medical consultation. If ectopic pregnancy is not resolved after treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
