What Can Cause A Situation Where Blood Test Shows Positive Pregnancy But In Scan It Shows The Other?
Hello Doctor,
I confirmed that I am pregnant after a home pregnancy test. But after couple of days, I started bleeding with mild cramps. I went to my doctor had an ultrasound but no pregnancy was detected. I had a blood test which showed I am still pregnant and I'm in my 4th week. The doctor said that it may be too early to detect something on the U/S and also said that I have a 50-50% chance of viable pregnancy and the doctor put me on Utrogestan tablet. Ever since the bleeding has stopped.
Please let me know your point of view on this. I still feel that I am pregnant.

Hi dear and thanks for your query.
These situation are known and are called chemical pregnancy.
But if you have vaginal bleeding and it has stopped ,wait for another TVS examination to confirm /exclude pregnancy.
Doctor has put you on Uterogestan tablet because you may be pregnant but is very early to detect by TVS or other examination .
Dont use pregnancy test at home because it will be positive even if you have aborted or not .
All the best
