Hello,
With the question "What does a pregnancy test mean but the ultrasound does not show a pregnancy?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If the ultrasound does not detect a gestational sac, do not be too worried. , maybe because you want to get pregnant so much, you went to the doctor before the pregnancy could implant, the gestational sac has not entered the uterus. In this case, your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment to wait for the sperm and fertilized egg to return to the correct position.
If a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy is suspected, your doctor will order a series of blood tests. This is to find out where your unborn baby is growing. In addition, more tests are needed to check the levels of pregnancy hormones and to monitor how they are changing. A blood test is more accurate than a urine test, and it may be too early to see a gestational sac. You need to re-examine after 2 weeks or when there are signs of abdominal pain, bleeding.
If you still have questions about ultrasound not showing pregnancy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
