Delayed human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) appearance in early pregnancy can indicate complications. This case highlights diagnostic challenges in ectopic pregnancy with halted corpus luteum function.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Clinical Biochemistry

Background:

  • Serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a key biomarker for pregnancy, typically detectable 8-12 days post-ovulation.
  • Delayed hCG detection is rare and often associated with spontaneous abortion.

Observation:

  • A case of ectopic pregnancy presented with delayed hCG appearance.
  • This was accompanied by a temporary cessation of corpus luteum steroidogenic activity.

Findings:

  • The ectopic pregnancy exhibited delayed human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) rise.
  • Corpus luteum steroidogenesis was temporarily halted, complicating diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Delayed hCG and corpus luteum dysfunction pose diagnostic challenges in early pregnancy.
