Hi,
Thanks for the query I understand your concern.
Abdominal pain & cramping in early weeks is a common symptom in early pregnancy. The dull ache due to uterine changes in pregnancy can be in center of abdomen or on either of sides of center
.The pain in right side away from midpoint can be tubal pregnancy which is associated with considerable cramps/ bleeding by 4 weeks pregnancy.
In case the cramping is severe & is associated with bleeding you should see your doctor earliest.
In case the cramping is severe & is associated with bleeding you should see your doctor earliest.
Your HCG & progesterone levels are normal for 4 weeks of pregnancy.
* after 5 weeks gestational sac is visible in USG scan... you can go for it to know normality of fetal position / to know about possibility of tubal pregnancy.. followed by needful treatment under care of a gynecologist.
Thanks
