Patient's question:
Can hCG doubling be an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The current ultrasound results cannot diagnose you as having an ectopic pregnancy. You will need to repeat the ultrasound in one week to confirm. Additionally, you can also exclude the possibility of ectopic pregnancy by testing the value of blood HCG. If the HCG value doubles every other day, it is basically possible to rule out ectopic pregnancy. However, if the value rises slightly or decreases instead of increasing, the likelihood of ectopic pregnancy is relatively high. Your condition is considered to be threatened abortion. It is best to receive timely treatment to preserve the pregnancy. Wishing you good health.
