Patient's question:
I am a patient from Shanxi, and I am 26 years old this year. I have been pregnant for three months recently, and I haven't had any symptoms anymore. My breasts are not tender either. There is no bleeding downstairs. I don't know if the embryo has stopped developing? I only use a pregnancy test kit for self-testing at home, and it still shows two lines. I don't know if it will still show two lines after the fetal stop. I'm very worried!Doctor's answer:
Hello! If the embryo stops developing, you can still get two lines on an early pregnancy test in a short time. This is because as soon as pregnancy occurs, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) appears in body fluids, such as urine and blood. In the early weeks of embryo development, HCG levels rise significantly. Therefore, even if the embryo stops developing, HCG levels will still be higher than normal. Wishing you good health!
