If the blood hCG level is high after testing, can you have a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I can only see a separated dark area in the ultrasound. If the blood hCG is high, can I have a medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the hCG value is high, but the color Doppler ultrasound did not show a typical gestational sac echo. It is absolutely not possible to undergo medication abortion. The prerequisite for medication abortion is that a gestational sac echo must be visible inside the uterine cavity, and the menstrual delay should be within 49 days. You can have a follow-up ultrasound in 4-5 days to closely monitor the movement of the gestational sac and promptly rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
