Can high progesterone rule out ectopic pregnancy?

Generally speaking, a progesterone value exceeding 20NG/ML can rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy, but it is inaccurate to judge whether there is an ectopic pregnancy only by the progesterone value, and further examination is needed. In the early stages of pregnancy, when ultrasound cannot provide accurate results, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out by the progesterone value.

1. Generally speaking, a progesterone value higher than 20 NG/ML can rule out ectopic pregnancy. However, progesterone testing alone cannot be used as a basis for excluding ectopic pregnancy. This indicator only provides an indirect judgment indicator. In the early stages of conception, when B-ultrasound cannot provide accurate detection, we can use progesterone testing to rule out ectopic pregnancy. If the progesterone level is lower than 20NG/ML, it should attract our attention. Wait a week or two and go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. If a gestational sac is seen in the uterus and there is no obvious cystic object outside the uterus, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out.

2. If you have an ectopic pregnancy, there will be some abnormal reactions, such as vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain around 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy. These are all early symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. If a pregnant woman does not show these symptoms within 6 to 8 weeks, she can preliminarily judge that she has a normal pregnancy. About 45 to 60 days after amenorrhea, you can go for an ultrasound examination. If the gestational sac is in the uterine cavity, the possibility of ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out. At this time, pregnant mothers can relax, maintain a positive and healthy attitude, pay attention to their diet and nutrition, and have regular prenatal checkups.

3. The most effective way to rule out ectopic pregnancy is B-ultrasound examination. When pregnancy is discovered, vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain occurs. In order to confirm that the embryo is in the uterus and to exclude ectopic pregnancy, B-ultrasound is required for identification. If you want to rule out ectopic pregnancy, you need to do a B-ultrasound. If a gestational sac is found in the uterus, it is a normal pregnancy, not an ectopic pregnancy. However, there is a disadvantage of B-ultrasound testing, that is, the pregnancy has just started and the time is too short for B-ultrasound to detect it. Generally, you should go to the hospital for an ultrasound around 45 days into your pregnancy to find out whether it is an ectopic pregnancy. If there has been no other discomfort before, you can observe for a while and wait until the B-ultrasound is done, and then rule out ectopic pregnancy based on the location of the gestational sac.
