Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My last period was on 11th of last month. Now, the pregnancy report is positive and blood test for hCG was done in which report showed 1176. 14 hCG level and 48 hours later showed 1342. 41. Is it normal pregnancy? My age is 36 years.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern. According to your description, the possibilities are:
You are pregnant which is indicated by urine and blood tests. Now, we have to confirm whether the pregnancy is in uterus or not. Usually blood levels of beta hCG should double in 48 hours. But that did not happen in your case. Now, we have to rule out the possibilities like abortion or ectopic pregnancy. For this, please undergo ultrasound once which will help in ruling out ectopic pregnancy. Take Progesterone supplements to prevent abortion, and repeat beta hCG levels again after 48 hours. This will help in confirming the site and nature of pregnancy. Take care.
