A member asked:

7 weeks since last time i had sex can i be pregnant with an ectopic if my hcg is 1 today?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: A blood Hcg is very reliable. If yours was 1, you are unlikely to be pregnant. I have seen one case of an ectopic pregnancy where the HCG was this low but this is rare.

Last time unprotected intercourse March 5. B-hcg April 5 negative, and May 4 negative. Does it rule out ectopic pregnancy? Or any extremely rare cases of low rising hcg levels? Thank you?

A member asked:

My HCG rose from 119, to 185, to 304, and now to 893 over the course of one week. I am currently 4 weeks, 6 days. Does this seem normal for my HCG to increase later and not double right away? or does this mean ectopic pregnancy?
