How to rule out ectopic pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I had my last period one month back. I have a cycle of 34 days. I missed my period this month. I had done beta hCG a few days before, which was 0.1 IU/L. Again a few days back, I did my beta hCG, which was 0.1 IU/L. The doctor asked me for a whole abdomen ultrasound, which showed an endometrium thickness of 14 mm, and said it could be pregnancy. I am very afraid as I heard about ectopic pregnancy. Please provide me with a detailed answer.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

According to your hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) levels and ultrasound scan, there is no pregnancy. Sometimes periods might get delayed by one or two weeks because of some stress or recent illness. In every menstrual cycle, a layer of cells forms inside the uterus, and during menstruation, it gets shed. The layer got thicker as you had not menstruated for 45 days. It would have been better if you had attached all the reports.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
