Patient's question:
Hello! My last menstrual period was on November 24th. My periods are usually not very regular, sometimes delayed by two or four days, and sometimes even by a week. On December 31st, a urine test at the hospital showed negative results, but on January 7th, another urine test came back positive with HCG > 25. On January 9th, an ultrasound examination did not reveal any gestational sac tissue, and a follow-up urine test showed weak positivity. Is it normal that after being pregnant for so long, the ultrasound still hasn’t detected anything? I had an abortion in January last year, could this have affected this pregnancy?Please reply.
First follow-up question: HCG > 25 IU
45 days, ultrasound did not detect
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is first necessary to rule out the possibility of delayed implantation of the fertilized egg in this case.
