Yes, it can. I just went in for my "new OB" appointment last Wednesday at 9 weeks, 3 days. We went into the sono expecting to see a little peanut and a heartbeat. Instead, there was nothing in my uterus. The only thing they could find was a 3 cm "mass" near my left ovary. They repeated the bloodwork and sono two days later and found that my beta levels had increased to 9,000, but the sono showed the same- no baby- but the mass had grown another 2 mm. I had no pain, no bleeding. I thought I was having a normal, healthy pregnancy. I had to have the methotrexate injection and am currently dealing with it. I am 4 days past having the shot and my beta levels are up to 11,540. They should go down by 15% by Friday if it is actually working.

What are the signs of a failed pregnancy?

Severe cramping and bleeding - usually the bleeding is heavy but can sometimes be lighter. Also you may see something solid pass - that could be the embryo. If you think you've had a failed pregnancy see a doctor immediately. If your body is trying to miscarry the embryo and it doesn't get it all or if it's an ectopic pregnancy (meaning implanted in the tubes) then it can be very dangerous and can cause infection or worse if not taken care of.

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.

Long heavy periods and pregnancy?

If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor as soon as you can.
