Can HCG results determine ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

The last menstrual period was on October 30, 2011. Due to my husband working overseas, we had sexual intercourse on November 10 and 11. On November 24, I started experiencing a very small amount of vaginal bleeding. On December 2, the pregnancy test was positive. On November 3, an ultrasound did not show a gestational sac, and the blood test showed an HCG level of 909.50. On November 4, I began experiencing morning sickness. Can this be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you undergo treatment to preserve the pregnancy, and a follow-up ultrasound will be performed in a few days to confirm whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If you experience abdominal pain, please seek follow-up treatment promptly.
It is advised that:
1. Rest and avoid overexertion.
2. Maintain a calm mood and prevent tension and anxiety.
Doctor's inquiry: When patients face the risks of ectopic pregnancy, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical consultation. If the ectopic pregnancy is not resolved after treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
