Patient's question:
I had my period on November 12th, and we had intercourse around the 20th. Today, I took two pregnancy tests, and both showed positive. In the afternoon, I went to the hospital to get an ultrasound, but the doctor told me it would take more than 50 days to see anything. Then the doctor said that if I wanted to check for an ectopic pregnancy, it would take another 10 days to get the results. After hearing this, I felt quite worried. But I forgot to tell you that these past few days, I've been feeling mild pain in my lower right abdomen occasionally, and I've been passing gas a lot. I want to know if this could be an ectopic pregnancy? Also, earlier, I had a bit of a feeling in my lower back, similar to what I feel before my period. I'm very anxious and need urgent help: I want to know how I could develop an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have tested positive on the test paper, but the ultrasound did not detect a gestational sac. Currently, you are concerned about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. In fact, the time mentioned above is indeed short, and if the ultrasound cannot clearly check the situation, it is advisable to consult a doctor, focus on careful observation for a longer period, and if there are no other discomforts in your body, there is no need to worry. You can focus on careful observation for one week, and then follow up for a re-examination and another ultrasound.
