Had Light Bleeding. Positive Urine HCG Test, Negative Transvaginal USG. What Does This Mean?

Hi, I had a positive urine HCG test few days back (pathological lab test result). After that my periods happened with light bleeding. Doctor advised to undergo USG. After USG nothing was detected, even transvaginal USG was performed & nothing was detected. Please advise what to do? Whether the urine test result was totally bogus and nothing happened as such? Or can I be still pregnant? Did I have any internal miscarriage? Totally in dark & getting confused. Please help with further advise.

Hi,
Your situation calls for definite confirmation/exclusion of pregnancy and this can be done through the estimation of serum beta-hCG titres. The possibilities are that there could be a mis-interpreted test or an early abortion. The trans-vaginal sonogram may be repeated after another week to see if there is any development. Beta-hCG levels can be determined on alternate days to see if there is any doubling. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
