Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if it's a problem when hCG is low but the pregnancy is deepening?Doctor's answer:
Your situation is perfectly normal and does not mean implantation is delayed. The fertilized egg is gradually transported from the fallopian tube to the uterus only when it develops into an 8-cell morula. HCG begins to be secreted 8 days after fertilization and reaches its peak at 16 weeks of pregnancy. When it is first secreted in small amounts, a pregnancy test can only show a faint positive. It is not related to implantation; it is a process. I suggest you relax and not worry. Not all women experience pregnancy symptoms during pregnancy. Breast tenderness and feeling sleepy are very typical early pregnancy symptoms and are completely normal. I recommend starting to take folic acid promptly to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Attend prenatal checkups on schedule, maintain a balanced diet, ensure adequate sleep, and stay positive—everything will go smoothly.Doctor's inquiry:
