What does a drop in hcg mean for ectopic pregnancy

A decrease in HCG in an ectopic pregnancy generally indicates that the fetus has stopped developing and needs to be treated as soon as possible to avoid infection.

Ectopic pregnancy is quite dangerous. As the embryo grows further, it may rupture and cause heavy bleeding. A decrease in HCG in ectopic pregnancy usually means that the fetus has stopped developing. In fact, this is also a good sign. If the fetus no longer grows, there will be no risk of heavy bleeding. However, emergency treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. You can take mifepristone or methotrexate for conservative treatment, and check HCG regularly until it drops to normal levels, which means that conservative treatment is successful.

It is recommended to do another B-ultrasound examination after the menstrual period. If there are no other abnormalities, you can adjust your body, pay attention to diet, maintain good living habits, and exercise actively. It is recommended to prepare for pregnancy again after 3 to 6 months, but before preparing for pregnancy, you must do a pre-pregnancy examination to understand whether the fallopian tubes are unobstructed, whether there are mature follicles, and other aspects. After excluding abnormalities, you can generally consider preparing for pregnancy.
