Does hcg rise normally in ectopic pregnancy?

Question

I'm concerned about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy. I know HCG levels rise in pregnancy, but do they rise normally even if it's an ectopic pregnancy?

Rucha Pal · Answer

In ectopic, HCG usually rises very slowly or fluctuates, but this is a serious medical issue. Please see your doctor immediately for an ultrasound, don't ignore this.

Sampada Shetty · Answer

Usually the HCG numbers slow down or stall, which is a big sign. Are you experiencing any sharp pain or spotting? Please call your gynac.

No beta, it does not rise properly. This is not something for home remedies, please show a good doctor immediately.
