Patient's question:
Please ask the expert: When I was three weeks pregnant, I took an early pregnancy test and it showed a faint positive (one pale red line). I continued to test for over a week, and each time the line became darker. At around four to five weeks, it was positive. Later, at six weeks, I experienced some abdominal pain and rested in bed. In the evening, I had some bleeding that started as pinkish and later turned into brownish clots, but it wasn't excessive. At around 11 p.m., I went to the hospital for an HCG injection to support the pregnancy, but the bleeding still didn't stop. The next morning, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, but no gestational sac was found in the uterine cavity. Instead, I saw a 1.2 x 1.6 x 1.2 cm fluid collection in the ovary.Doctor's answer:
Based on your situation, it is more likely that you are experiencing a natural miscarriage after pregnancy. At the same time, it is recommended to undergo follow-up ultrasound examinations to rule out ectopic pregnancy. Additionally, it is advised to actively monitor blood hCG levels to observe whether they return to normal on their own.The earliest sign of pregnancy can be detected around the 5th week of gestation through an ultrasound. On the B-mode ultrasound screen, a circular (pregnancy ring) can be observed within the uterus, with the dark area inside representing amniotic fluid. A rhythmic fetal heartbeat can also be seen within the ring.
Around the 6th week of amenorrhea, an ultrasound examination can reveal the presence of a gestational sac.
