Patient's question:
My last menstrual period was on December 13th, and on January 19th, I had a detailed check-up. The hCG level was 11,377.6, estradiol was 264.252, and progesterone was 15.278. The doctor said the progesterone was a bit low and prescribed progesterone. On January 25th, I had another detailed check-up. The hCG level was 27,664.6, estradiol was 211.609, and progesterone was 18.822. The doctor said the estrogen level had increased, but the hCG doubling was not very good. The MRI revealed the structure of the yolk sac but no fetal bud was seen. The doctor feared it might be a missed miscarriage and prescribed progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin injection. They told me to take the medication and return for a follow-up in a week. If there was still no fetal bud, I would need to consider a miscarriage. I really want this child, and I am now feeling extremely upset. Could you tell me if my situation can still be saved?Doctor's answer:
After conception, HCG levels generally double every day. Your test results are not doubling as expected, and your progesterone levels are also low. No one can confirm whether the treatment will be successful. In your case, it is necessary to undergo treatment to support the pregnancy. It is recommended that you follow your doctor's advice to take progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin. Recheck HCG and ultrasound after one week for a thorough examination. During this period, get plenty of rest, relax your mind, enhance nutrition, increase walking, and avoid sexual intercourse.
