Patient's question:
The last menstrual period ended on November 30th. On December 30th, the pregnancy test showed a positive result. Three days later, the vaginal ultrasound showed nothing. On January 6th, the hCG test showed 79. On January 8th, the hCG test showed 197. Today, the hCG test showed 170 again, and the vaginal 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 may not be 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 suggestions are for the question "Why can't I see the baby on a vaginal ultrasound after a hCG test result of 170?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
