Patient's question:
Dr. Zhang, hello. I had my period on July 10, and on July 26, I went to the hospital to check for menopause. The doctor said the follicle was just beginning to grow and develop, telling me to come back in two days for another check-up. On the 29th, I went to the hospital again for a thorough examination of the left and right ovaries, but the left one was very small while the right one was slightly larger. On the evening of the 30th, I had sexual intercourse, and on the 31st, I went to the hospital for another check-up. The doctor said I had had sexual intercourse the night before, and I had another intercourse on the 31st. On August 13, I used a pregnancy test and it showed a faint positive. On August 14, I tested again and it was still faintly positive. On August 17, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said to have an ultrasound done, but nothing was found. However, I was told I was pregnant. Later, I had blood drawn, and the results on the 18th showed a value of 1603. The doctor said it didn’t rule out ectopic pregnancy. I’m very scared, and I don’t have any symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. I’m seeking help.Doctor's answer:
The color Doppler ultrasound cannot determine if the pregnancy has been too long, but it is best to wait until around 40-50 days of pregnancy to get a clearer view. Currently, the situation should be considered as a possible pregnancy, but it cannot be confirmed. It is best to undergo a follow-up ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy, as this condition is not easily resolved. Friends who are patients should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating ectopic pregnancy and believe that they will surely recover.
