What to pay attention to when taking a pregnancy test

Patient's question:

Just checked today, the last day of my period started on December 4th. My period is delayed by 5-10 days and irregular. I had intercourse on December 23rd to January 1st. On January 5th, I got a double line gray test result. Today, January 18th, I should be 6 weeks pregnant according to the calculation. Today, I went to the hospital to check hCG and progesterone, except for the ultrasound, everything is fine. The doctor asked me to come back tomorrow to pick up the results. I don’t know what the situation is. Seeing that the progesterone level is out of range, I’m very worried. I asked the doctor to take a look at my hCG and progesterone levels and what I should do. Thank you, thank you!

Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, it is primarily through gynecological examinations to understand how the size of the uterus matches the gestational age. B-mode magnetic resonance imaging is generally used to visualize the gestational sac at five weeks and observe the ancient heart tube at six to seven weeks. Before the tenth week of pregnancy, dynamic tests of blood hCG or progesterone should be performed intermittently to understand the growth and development of the embryo. Given the short duration of amenorrhea, it is recommended to promptly implement dynamic monitoring of blood hCG and progesterone, and carefully observe the growth and development of the embryo.
