What Causes Shoulder Pain With Increased HCG Levels During A Pregnancy?

I am about 4 weeks pregnant. I had another blood test after 2 days and my hcg levels went from 184 to 407, my doctor said that was fine the only thing is I have some pain in my right shoulder and I am a bit worried. I have another 2 babies at home and I am always picking them up so I thought this might be the cause. I am only worried that I am not having an ectopic pregnancy

Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
As you said, your shoulder pain can be due to lifting the babies.
But as you rightly said, you need to rule out ectopic pregnancy. I will suggest you to get USG done. It will help to locate exact position of the pregnancy . Plesse get it done at the earliest.
Please keep watch, I'd you have fainting attacks, severe lower abdominal pain.
I hopethis answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wishing you a great health.
