Patient's question:

Tested blood on October 21st, progesterone level was 65, hCG was 345. The doctor mentioned it might develop slowly. What to eat to promote the growth of the gestational sac?What kind of help is needed: What to eat to promote the growth of the gestational sac?
Doctor's answer:
Early pregnancy with a small gestational sac and low blood hCG levels may be caused by delayed ovulation. Currently, it is recommended to pay close attention to rest, avoid overtime work, and enhance nutrition. Regular check-ups at local reputable institutions or hospitals are sufficient. The ultrasound results and blood test values for hCG and progesterone may show some differences compared to the expected time of menstruation or fetal development due to late menopause or delayed delivery. It is advised to follow the doctor's instructions and retest after 14 days. During these 14 days, focus on nurturing the fetus peacefully.
