Patient's question:
Please ask if I am currently on my period, because it is the second day now, and the flow is less than the first day, accompanied by lower back pain and breast tenderness. The serum test shows HCG diluted to 1000, and chorionic gonadotropin at 0.17. Is this normal? The doctors in the hospital have different opinions, some say it's pregnancy, some say it's a miscarriage, and others say it's nothing. What is the actual situation？？？？Doctor's answer:
It cannot be inferred from this value, because the range of HCG values is particularly large, and the progesterone level is a bit low. It is recommended to undergo an ultrasound examination. If a gestational sac is observed in the uterine cavity, it will be necessary to receive pregnancy preservation treatment, as a low progesterone level poses a risk of miscarriage.
