A member asked:

I just recently found out i was pregnant, 5 weeks, and my hgc level was a little over 5,000 yesterday when i got bloodwork but now the doctors are trying to say i'm having an ectopic. is that possible? i've had an ectopic before and it's not the same?

An HCG level of "over 5 K" is a definite positive, but can be produced by an ectopic pregnancy as well. If a pelvic sonogram does not show an intrauterine "yolk sac" at "5 weeks of pregnancy", your physician may be concerned about a non-uterine origin of the pregnancy. Prior ectopic pregnancy increases the chance of a repeat.
