What is done when you have a ectopic pregnancy?
Well there are usually a small handful of possibilities that comes to treating an ectopic pregnancy. One, the ectopic pregnancy dies and the mothers body reabsorbs the egg and at times is never even detected and the woman might have never even known she was pregnant. If you encountered a positive pregnancy test then a later did another one and it came back negative, that could have been a possibility that it was an ectopic pregnancy. Or the other possibility with an ectopic pregnancy is that the tube that is holding the ectopic pregnancy may rupture causing severe abdominal pain and may cause extreme complications and surgery may be needed. If the ectopic pregnancy is detected by a physician, then he/she may prescribe a drug called methotrexate, which is injected into a muscles and ends the pregnancy. If the embryo is small enough doctors can remove the embryo through laparoscopic surgery and can usually save the tube. In this situation, a general anesthetic will be used and you will need to take about a week to recover. * http://www.multikulti.org.uk/en/health/ectopic-pregnancy/ * http://www.babycenter.com/0_ectopic-pregnancy_229.bc?articleId=229&page=4 * http://www.medinfo2004.org/get-to-know-about-ectopic-pregnancy-174/ You will most likely have to undergo minor surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy or you can be prescribed medication that will end the 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 implantation bleeding occur if it is an ectopic pregnancy?
No Apparently they will raise slightly or even decrease every 48 hours. (e.g Hcg level 2000 could become 1800 in 48 hours in an ectopic)Whereas in a viable interuterine pregnancy the HcG levels will about double in 48 hours. This alone is not used for diagnoses a vaginal scan will also help to identify any mass in the tube. This will be to rule out a miscarriage also.
What is the ICD 9 code for abnormal beta hcg levels in pregnancy?
V22.2 is the code for a normal intrauterine pregnancy You also see 633.01 used ("Abdominal pregnancy with intrauterine pregnancy"), but that number is in the list of codes for ectopic pregnancies --- so I think the phrase "Abdominal pregnancy" in the descriptor is meant to imply "abdominal ECTOPIC pregnancy." I think it's an error to use it for a normal pregnancy.

Are you at risk if your last pregnancy was ectopic should you be nervous?
Hi, I have had a previous ectopic and currently want to try for another baby, this is some of the information which was given to me."Previous ectopic - about 10-20% of those attempting pregnancy after one ectopic will have another.""The risk of another ectopic depends on several factors, in particular the type of surgery that has taken place, the presence of any damage to the other tube and whether there were any difficulties conceiving first time around. Studies that compare removing the tube (salpingectomy) with opening it at the time of surgery and removing the pregnancy (salpingostomy) have found that when the other factors above have been controlled for, the risk of repeat ectopic is about 9% if the tube is removed and 12% if the tube is left behind. There is no difference in outcome whether the operation was an open one or key-hole surgery was used (laparoscopy), but recovery is certainly quicker with the key-hole option.s mentioned above, after having an ectopic pregnancy, a woman is at risk of it happening again (though it is more likely that the next pregnancy will be in the right place)."So I would say be cautious and discuss it with your Dr or Midwife before you try to get pregnant again, they will probably offer you early scanning to try and avert any problems early on in the pregnancy.Good Luck
When is a specially designed transducer probe used during a pelvic ultrasound?
A specially designed transducer probe can be placed in the vagina to provide better ultrasound images. This transvaginal or endovaginal scan is particularly useful in early pregnancy or in cases where ectopic pregnancy is suspected.
