In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube. If the doctor cannot locate the fetus, it may be due to several factors, including early gestational age or the possibility of the pregnancy resolving on its own. Further evaluation, such as blood tests for hormone levels and imaging studies, may be necessary to determine the best course of action. It's crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for appropriate management and monitoring.

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.

Can you have a normal birth after ectopic pregnancy?
Yes it is possible to have an ectopic pregnancy and have a negative pregnancy test, it is also possible to have a healthy pregnancy and have a positive pregnancy test in the first 10 days after a missed period. Pregnancy test kits are each calibrated to different levels of sensitivity and you have to ensure you are using a quality test, which is calibrated to detect reliably levels of hCG (the hormone, made in pregnancy.)

You are confirmed pregnant heartbeat monitor finds heartbeat but ultrasound can't find embryo?
You must go for a second opinion. When the fetal heartbeat is present there must be a fetus. Sometimes a woman can have an ectopic pregnancy and the fetal heartbeat can be heard, but the fetus is not in utero. It is in the fallopian tube. This is a serious condition so you should definitely get a second ultra sound. ASAP!!!

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.
You are 5 weeks 3 days pregnant hcg values don't double but rise progesterone rise from 10 to 16.5 mild right lower abdominal pain could it be ectopic?
Yes it most definitely could be ectopic. You need to get a pelvic ultrasound done. The radiologist will see changes in the lining of your uterus if it is possibly a normal pregnancy. If it is ectopic, there will be no changes to your uterus (prepping for the baby,etc.) They also may be able to see the ectopic pregnancy through an ultrasound. Do not wait to find out about this. It could be life threatening to you.
Can you have a normal pregnancy in the womb and an ectopic pregnancy at the same time?
This kind of pregnancy is called a heterotopic pregnancy and they are very very very rare. I found out I was pregnant in March 2008 and they didn't find out I had a heterotpic pregnancy until May when I had my right tube removed after it burst. Like I said though it is VERY rare so it's not something a normally healthy woman needs to worry about. If you want to know the risk factors just google them. I found everything I needed to answer my questions once I knew what the pregnancy was called. Good luck! I just had an emergency c-section as I had a uterine and ectopic pregnancy. I was having severe shoulder pain and what I thought were braxton hicks contraction for months. I made it to 30 weeks unaware that I had an ectopic pregnancy. I had ultrasounds, blood work and all the work ups but the Dr. never saw the ectopic pregnancy. I had my fallopian tube rupture and nearly died from the blood loss. My uternie pregnancy survived at 30 weeks but the path report showed an 8-10 week ectopic pregnancy in the ruptured fallopian tube. My dr. went back and looked at the orignal ultrasound and didnt find an ectopic pregnancy at that time. So I got pregnant several months after already being pregnant. The Dr's had never seen this and said it is extremly rare and that most ruptured fallopian tubes kill the mother. Had it happened weeks earlier both myself and my little boy would have died. So, the answer is yes this can happen as I am living proof.

How can you find out why you can not have a baby?
