Ectopic/HCG: 30 yo female who had tube removed for ectopic pregnancy with persistent Q HCG. Your QCG should be followed serially until it is close to zero. If it persist for more than one week without any decreasing trend, you should discuss with your doctor for a further medical treatment. Good luck.

Tested for pregnancy 2 week after missed period neg, then 3 week after missed period blood test negative. Currently did not get my period this month either. Can it be ectopic pregnancy since they produce lower hcg levels ?
