Most definitely when you consider the size that the foetus would be at that stage of development, in fact I would think that you would have had some serious complications before it got to that stage in the pregnancy. I was 10 weeks and they said I was lucky the tube had not ruptured already.

If you suspect from the symptoms you are experiencing that you are suffering an ectopic pregnancy I would contact your dr immediately.

Same as when an u/s would be able to see anything. 5 weeks at the earliest. So you'd have to get blood work to check the hcg and see if it doubles the way it should.

Will a traditional over the counter pregnancy test indicate the presence of a Nontubial ectopic pregnancy?

The answer depends on what exactly you are asking. If your asking if a pregnancy test will show you specifically whether or not a pregnancy is in the tues or not then NO it will not. A home pregnancy test only shows that HCG has been detected in your urine. Which usually means you're pregnant. Establishing the location of the pregnancy can only be done through ultrasound with the aid of a doctor. If your concerned about ectopic please speak with your doctor. Also watch for signs of fever,spotting, and abdominal/ovary pain. Good Luck.


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!


I got a upper abdominal ultrasond if i was pregnant will i come out their cause usually for prengnacy the give you lower abdomial i fell im prengant but pregnancy test say no but i fell different?

It wont show on an upper abdominal ultrasound. Most times you have to have an internal ultrasound to determine early pregnancy.


At which month can a ultra sound show twins?

The best and most reliable way to confirm a twin or multiple pregnancy is to see it with an ultrasound. An ultrasound is the only guaranteed way to know whether you're carring more than one baby. An ultrasound may be able to detect multiple embryos as early as your third week of pregnancy; However, the ultrasound will be most reliable at detecting a multiple or twin pregnancy at around 6 to 8 weeks.


Today you took a pregnancy test it was negative im on day 37 of your cycle im usually 29 day cycle what do you do next can this be an ectopic pregnancy?

If it was an ectopic pregnancy, you would still show positive on a pregnancy test. Do you have any other pregnancy symptoms? I would not consider pregnancy unless you feel you may be pregnant from some other sign.


How do you know if you had a chemical pregnancy?

Only a doctor can diagnose this with an ultrasound. The body will think you are pregnant but the ultrasound will show up an empty sac or nothing.


Will a home pregnancy test detect a ectopic pregnancy?

Yes, it will.I don't know who wrote that it will.... ^". Ectopic pregnancies don't always register on http://wiki.answers.com/0_home-pregnancy-tests_2029.bc, so if you suspect there's a problem, don't wait for a positive pregnancy test to contact your caregiver."source: babycenter.comyou could have an ectopic pregnancy and the test won't pick it up because your hormones aren't rising like they should so the at home test wont pick anything up..(I don't understand why people put answers when they don't know everything. I'm not a doctor or anything, but you can find out true facts on real credited resources... so at least research something before you go and write your opinion.)


Can you be pregnant for 41weeks and ultrasound couldn't detect the baby?

No, by that stage in a pregnancy, the baby would be ready to be delievered and would definitely show up on an ultrasound.


Can you tell the difference on an ultrasound scan a 6 week pregnancy to a 10 week pregnancy?

To the untrained eye, probably not. Most people can't see anything in an ultrasound pic. Later on in pregnancy though, that 4 weeks can show a lot of differences.


How far pregnant for an ectopic pregnancy to show how many weeks pregnant?

When women have an ectopic pregnancy, they may not know that they are pregnant at the time. Usually, signs of an ectopic pregnancy would include pelvic or abdominal pain, vaginal spotting or if the fallopian tube ruptures, there may be signs of shock.


What does it mean when an ultrasound does not show anything at 5 weeks?

External ultrasounds can only detect pregnancy when you are more than about 5-6 weeks wereas if you have an internel ultrasound they can detect pregnancy from as early as 4weeks. In answer to your question you are either not as far gone as originally thort and would have to have a internal ultrasound to dertimine/detect pregnancy or you are just not pregnant.AnswerI'm suprised that they wouldn't tell you when you got it done. The fetus at that age is so small its very possible that you could not see it. Or you are not as far along as you thought and it was just a yolk sack.


Are you pregnant if you had a tubal ligation 5 years ago and are now 14 days late for your period and have taken 2 pregnancy tests and both were negative and you also just got over the flu 1 day ago?

It is unlikely that you are pregnant, but it IS possible. If you are pregnant, the odds are that it is an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Sometimes they show positive on home pregnancy tests and sometimes they do not. An ectopic pregnancy cannot be carried to term and cannot result in a viable baby. Without medical intervention, it will burst the tube relatively early in the pregnancy, which can cause you to be in grave danger due to blood loss, etc. You need to contact your doctor without delay and be evaluated to ascertain whether or not you have an ectopic pregnancy. Please don't wait - this could mean your life.
