Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. The pregnancy test showed pregnancy, but the ultrasound couldn't detect it. Am I pregnant? When I bought the pregnancy test stick, there were two lines, but the test results at the hospital showed I wasn't pregnant. Am I really pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The pregnancy test strip showed two lines, but the ultrasound examination did not predict pregnancy. It could be a case where the pregnancy duration is too short, but ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out either. It could also be that the pregnancy test strip has some margin of error. In such cases, it is generally necessary to have a blood hCG test done at a local hospital for a more accurate prediction of pregnancy. If the blood test results show a significant increase, it can confirm pregnancy. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the pregnancy duration to determine if it is an ectopic pregnancy.
