How much progesterone does it take to rule out ectopic pregnancy at 31 days of pregnancy

  Pregnant women not only worry about miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy, but also fear whether they have an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy means that the fertilized egg cannot stay and develop normally in the fallopian tube, which may lead to miscarriage. There are no signs or obvious symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, and many women will judge whether they have an ectopic pregnancy based on progesterone levels. So, how much progesterone does exclude ectopic pregnancy at 31 days of pregnancy?

  

How much progesterone does it take to rule out ectopic pregnancy at 31 days of pregnancy1

  1. Under normal circumstances, when a woman is one month pregnant, her progesterone level is generally higher than 25 nanograms per milliliter. If the progesterone level remains above 25 nanograms per milliliter, it is basically not an ectopic pregnancy, and women do not need to worry excessively. When the progesterone level is below 5 nanograms per milliliter, ectopic pregnancy may occur, and it is suspected to be an ectopic pregnancy. At this time, it cannot be judged solely based on progesterone levels, and further examination is needed to identify ectopic pregnancy.

  2. The methods for clinical diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy include ultrasound examination, blood HCG examination, clinical symptoms, etc. Among them, ultrasound is the most intuitive detection method. Ultrasound can show the location of the gestational sac. If there is a gestational sac in the uterine cavity, it proves that it is not an ectopic pregnancy. The clinical symptoms are generally observed as vaginal bleeding. When the fallopian tube ruptures or the embryo dies, vaginal bleeding can occur. If there is bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain 6-8 weeks after menstruation stops, it may be ectopic pregnancy. At this time, it is recommended that women go to the hospital for ultrasound examination in a timely manner.
