Q. Does slow rise in hCG indicate any abnormality?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) report can be relied, it indicates possibility of impending abortion (miscarriage).

Hi,

• Rise in beta hCG is not related to tablet Ebast-M (combination of Ebastine and Montelukast).

• You can wait for another week and then decide for an ultrasound scan.

• Normally pregnancy can be seen on ultrasound scan when beta hCG is ≥1500 mIU/mL. So there is no point in going for scan at this moment.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You need to continue your medicines till your next scan and if scan report comes normal, you need to continue till 11-12 weeks.

• Normally scan is done between 6 and 7 weeks of gestational age for viability or dating and location of pregnancy, when expected level of hCG is ≥1500 mIU/mL.

• Regarding PCOD, women having PCOD are at increased risk of miscarriage. There is no specific intervention to reduce the risk.

Your report appears fine except eosinophilia and leucocytosis for which you are already taking treatment.

• One more thing you need to keep in mind is risk of ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside uterus, for example in tubes), especially with slow rise of beta hCG.

• It can manifest with ruptured ectopic with severe abdominal pain, giddiness and bleeding vaginally. If you experience these symptoms, you need to go to hospital for emergency intervention (commonly laparoscopy).

• Though from the rise in beta hCG, chance of ectopic is low (but not zero).

Remember, you need to get an ultrasound by sixth week (42 days from last menstrual period) for localization and health of pregnancy.
