How is the prognosis for conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

About a week ago, there was irregular vaginal bleeding. Later, at Hubei Maternal and Child Health Hospital, blood tests showed HCG 44 and progesterone 3.9. A vaginal color Doppler ultrasound revealed an enlarged, and she was admitted with a diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. After conservative treatment with medication, HCG decreased to 33, and she was discharged. Now, one week after discharge, a follow-up blood test showed that HCG did not continue to decline but instead increased.

Doctor's answer:

The correct implantation site for a fertilized egg is within the uterine cavity. The uterine cavity provides ample space and rich nutritional blood for the fertilized egg. If the fertilized egg implants outside the uterine cavity, it is referred to as an ectopic pregnancy, and the causes of ectopic pregnancy are also very complex.
