The IUD reduces the risk of all kinds of pregnancy, so an ectopic is less likely in women who use the IUD than in women who are not using Birth Control. However, among pregnancies occurring with the IUD in place, a greater ''proportion'' are ectopic than pregnancies among women not using birth control.

You want to get pregnant with out removing your IUD is this possible?

I am sure it is slightly possible but getting pregnant while having a IUD is a terrible idea. Most of the time a pregnancy while using IUD is an ectopic pregnancy which is when the fertilized egg is not in the uterus, this can cause death and the baby will not survive. If you by miracle got pregnant and it was not ectopic the baby can still be severely harmed so you must see a doctor ASAP.

Chances of giving birth with an ectopic pregnancy?

There is not enough room or environment for the healthy growth and delivery of a baby anywhere outside the womb. The fetus will not be able to develop normally. Most often, as the ectopic embryo starts to grow, it will burst the organ that contains it. While ectopic encompasses any organ outside of the womb, such as the opening of the cervix, etc., this is usually the fallopian tube (also known as a tubal pregnancy). Rupturing of an organ will cause bleeding, severe pain, and even death for the mother.


Can a woman get pregnant after ectopic pregnancy and removal of one tube while incision in the other tube?

Certainly! An ectopic pregnancy is not a condition that affects your reproductive organs such as endometriosis. You have a 1 in 2 chance of conception if you had no problems prior to your ectopic pregnancy. About 60% conceive successfully after an ectopic pregnancy and about 30% choose not to try conceiving again. If you do conceive successfully after having an ectopic pregnancy, it is important to notify your doctor at the first visit of this so that he/she can pay special attention to any warning signs and help you and your baby have a successful future pregnancy.


Does a pregnancy test read negative when you have a ectopic pregnancy?

an ectopic pregnancy has the same symptoms and signs as a regular pregnancy and you still develop the hormones you would with a normal pregnancy. The human chorionic gonadotropin levels are what cause the pregnancy test to read positive. All pregnancies have hcg levels that should be doubling every other day in early gestation.. an ectopic pregnancy may test negative if taken too early, or too late because the body will eventually,(around 6-11 weeks) begin to try to expel the pregnancy when hormone levels begin to drop when the fetus is no longer viable and must be removed Hope it helps!


Can you have a negative pregnancy test with an eptomic pregnancy?

No. While pregnancy hormone levels may be a bit low, they will not be absent. If you think you might have an ectopic pregnancy please see a heath care provider or visit the emergency room, as this can be very dangerous and lead to death.


What is an ectopic pregancy?

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the baby starts to develop outside the womb (uterus). The most common site for an ectopic pregnancy is within one of the tubes through which the egg passes from the ovary to the uterus (fallopian tube). However, in rare cases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the ovary, stomach area, or cervix.An ectopic pregnancy is usually caused by a condition that blocks or slows the movement of a fertilized egg through the fallopian tube to the uterus. This may be caused by a physical blockage in the tube.Symptoms of Ectopic PregnancyPain in the lower abdomen, and inflammationPain while urinatingPain while having a bowel movementExternal bleeding is due to the falling progesterone levels.Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilised egg implants itself within one of the fallopian tubes rather than within the uterus, as the embryo grows it outgrows the small space of the fallopian tube and if not caught soon enough this can prove fatal.


What are signs of ectopic pregnancy after a partial hysterectomy?

I had an ectopic pregnancy a few years ago in which the embryo had implanted on my appendix! Apparently more than 90% of ectopic pregnancies implant in the tubes, but mine was one of the few that implanted somewhere else. I had episodes of severe abdominal pain for weeks. It took a while for my doctors to figure out I was pregnant since I hadn't missed a period and had an IUD in my uterus. I also had bleeding at random points during my cycle so frequently I lost track of my actual "period" date. An ectopic pregnancy will not advance like a normal pregnancy, so the hcg levels will be much lower. This makes it hard to discover with a home pregnancy test for a little while. You can have a beta hcg blood series done, where they check your hcg levels and can tell you how much hcg you have. If your hcg is higher than 5 you are pregnant, however the most sensitive urine tests won't show a pregnancy until hcg levels are at 25 or higher. In a viable pregnancy, hcg doubles every other day. In an ectopic pregnancy, it doesn't.
