Brief Answer:
DO ONE TVS SCAN TO CONFIRM HEALTHY PREGNANCY.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The first thing, I suggest you to undergo one Trans
Vaginal Ultrasound scan (TVS) around 5 to 6 weeks to check viability of fetus including
gestational sac,
fetal pole and heart beat. It will be more reliable, accurate & confirmatory test to know the nature of conception whether tubal (ectopic) or intrauterine.
Secondly, only blood for beta-hCG test will NOT confirm whether you carry a healthy pregnancy or not and it CAN'T rule out ectopic pregnancy without proper clinical signs (like
abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding).
Where NO intrauterine pregnancy is seen on ultrasound, measuring beta-hCG levels may aid in the diagnosis. However, very LOW rise of beta-hCG level may indicate possible
miscarriage in future.
Lastly, I suggest you to consult with your Gynecologist following TVS scan and repeat blood beta-hCG for next level management.
Hope, it will be helpful for your information. Kindly, close the discussion, if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.
Regards,
Dr Soumen
