Patient's question:
The last menstrual period ended on November 30th. On December 30th, a pregnancy test showed positive. Three days later, a transvaginal ultrasound showed nothing. On January 6th, hCG was detected at 79. On January 8th, hCG was detected at 197. Today, another hCG test showed 170, and the transvaginal ultrasound still couldn't see the baby.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, miscarriage is possible, as the values are low, so it is not visible on ultrasound. It is recommended not to worry for now and focus on monitoring the hCG levels until they drop to normal, at which point you can rest assured. Whether it is an ectopic pregnancy or poor embryonic development, it is actually a good outcome if it happens on its own. The above advice is for the question "Why can't I see the baby on a vaginal ultrasound with an hCG level of 170?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
