What should I do if I suspect an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Sometimes delayed by 1 day and advanced by 2 days this month, but starting from the 6th, abdominal pain began and by the 11th, it stopped.

Doctor's answer:

Your result can only prove that you are pregnant. Whether it is an ectopic pregnancy is uncertain at this time, because the gestational sac seen under ultrasound is approximately 35 days, or it could also be around 40 days. Since you have not experienced a menstrual period for less than 40 days, it is possible that the gestational sac is not yet visible. Therefore, it is impossible to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If you want to have the baby, you can measure the HCG level to closely monitor it in the first three months of early pregnancy. The HCG level decreases by approximately half every 2.2 ± 0.5 days. A normally developing placenta secretes a large amount of HCG, with the titer continuously rising rapidly, increasing by more than 66% every 48 hours.
