Question: are hcg levels lower with ectopic pregnancy?
Answer: Low or Slow-Rising hCG Levels A low or slow-rising hCG level can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, but looking at hCG levels alone is not usually enough for a doctor to make the diagnosis. While a slow-rising or low hCG level can indicate an ectopic pregnancy, it does not mean that you are definitely experiencing one.
