I took an emergency contraceptive pill in November 2018, which may have affected the child.

Patient's question:

I took an emergency contraceptive pill in November 2018. My period came on December 3rd and was unusually short, lasting only three days, whereas it usually lasts four days. In January 2019, my period didn't come, and a urine test was positive. On January 17th, my blood test showed Hcg 354.5 and progesterone 29.67. By January 17th, Hcg was 917.7 and progesterone 29.68. It was confirmed as early pregnancy, but no gestational sac was found on ultrasound. The doctor said there was a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy! I'm so worried. Can I still keep this child? Is it an ectopic pregnancy? Solving the equation, online now!!

Doctor's answer:

Based on your blood HCG and progesterone levels, you can wait for 7 to 10 days and then re-examine with a color Doppler ultrasound to determine if it is an intrauterine pregnancy. If it is an intrauterine pregnancy and the growth and development are good, you can continue the pregnancy. Alternatively, you can recheck your blood in 3 days to see if these two pregnancy hormones have doubled.
Advice: Rest well, maintain a reasonable schedule, avoid overtime, and always stay in a good mood! If you experience abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, seek follow-up treatment promptly.
