Patient's question:
Hello Dr.:I had contraception before getting married four years ago. This year, I was diagnosed with second-degree cervical erosion and underwent treatment for a period of time. After my period on November 16, I haven’t had one yet. I’ve taken several early pregnancy tests, all of which were negative. I haven’t experienced any symptoms, except for occasional lower abdominal pain that comes and goes, especially when I lie down at night. Hello! Why haven’t I had my period after so long? Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? Are there any dangerous symptoms of ectopic pregnancy? I went to the hospital yesterday for a check-up, and the doctor just had me take an early pregnancy test. I was already scheduled for a B
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the test strip shows a weak positive, it could be that the pregnancy is too early and not yet obvious. You can wait a few days and test again, or you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound. Ectopic pregnancy can also result in a weak positive. However, if an ultrasound is performed, the gestational sac will not be visible within the uterine cavity. You can also check the blood HCG levels. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for further examination to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
