Ectopic pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy?

If I was having an ectopic pregnancy would my hcg levels go down?  I went to the doctor today and my hormone levels went down 5 pts and they want to check for an ectopic pregnancy.  It just doesn't make since to me that if I was still pregnant in any way why my levels would go down.

If your levels are going down, there is a problem with the pregnancy.  Slow-rising numbers are a symptom of ectopic, so that might be why they think this is a possibility.  Depending on how far along you are, probably they will want to do an ultrasound if they have not done one yet.  It will tell you if the embryo is in the uterus or somewhere else.  Unfortunately, your numbers don't bode well for the pregnancy whether or not it is ectopic.  I'm so sorry.
