Is It Possible To Have An Ectopic Pregnancy?
I went for a checkup with my OB last friday and there is a chance that I am pregnant in my left tube. My hcg levels were tested 3x s and keep doubling. My ob seen a mass in my tube and a very small mass in my uterus. Is it possible to have an ectopic pregnancy and have doubing levels? Thank you Erin

HI,
Thanks for the query. I have read & understood your concern.
Beta HCG level that shows doubling in consecutive readings .. may not be a distinctive sign to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy.
There is usually history of pain in one side of abdomen/ slight bleeding in case the pregnancy is ectopic... These are alarming signs & once experienced, the trans vaginal USG is indicated for diagnosis.
Your USG with a mass in tube & another small mass in uterus is a bit confusing, you should proceed for follow up USG for confirmed result.
Thanks.
