Patient's question:
On December 9th, I had my period, but it hasn't arrived yet. I took a pregnancy test, which showed positive, but an ultrasound showed otherwise. I want to ask if this could be a problem, or if it's really pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
1. Chemical pregnancy: Conception occurs later than the normal ovulation period, with the sperm and egg having combined, but the gestational sac has not yet formed.2. Ectopic pregnancy: Also known as ectopic pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to symptoms such as abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Vaginal ultrasound is more helpful in confirming the diagnosis. It is recommended to check blood HCG and estrogen/progesterone levels at the hospital to preliminarily determine whether it is one of the above conditions and decide on the follow-up ultrasound date. If there is abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, please seek medical attention promptly.
