What else can I help you with?
Do you need an ultrasound to tell if you have an ectopic pregnancy?
Yes, you do. An ectopic pregnancy is just like a "regular" pregnancy for the first few weeks. Everything feels the same. An ultrasound is done early in a pregnancy to check things out, and if a pregnancy is ectopic, a good ultrasound technician will be able to spot it. There is no other non-invasive way to discover an ectopic pregnancy, and because of the risks posed by an ectopic pregnancy, it is critical to discover it early - if in fact there is one. Ectopic pregnancies are invariably life-threatening events, and prenatal care is important for that and many other reasons.
What would a miscarriage be like with an ectopic pregnancy?
Well you have to speak wiht your doctor about that because if you are expierencing and ectopic pregnancy then, your fallopian tube might burst, so the doctor has to abort the pregnancy, and it would be like a regular miscarriage, heavy bleeding and cramping.
What is the ectopic pregnancy death rate of the mother and how can it be reduced?
The death rate of mothers from ectopic pregnancies is around 0.1-0.3. To reduce this risk, early detection through regular prenatal care and prompt medical intervention are crucial. Treatment options include medication or surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy and prevent complications. It is important for women to be aware of the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy and seek medical help if they experience any concerning signs.
I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2001 with my right tube removed now I am 4 weeks pregnant at what what stage of pregnancy are you safe from another ectopic happening?
While it's difficult to predict exactly when another ectopic pregnancy might occur, the risk decreases as the pregnancy progresses. Most ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed in the first trimester, typically by the sixth week. Regular monitoring and early ultrasounds can help assess the location of the pregnancy and ensure it's developing in the uterus. It's important to stay in close contact with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and support.
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 get pregnant after iv had an ectopic pregnancy but I haven't got my period since the operation to remove it?
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.
How long after your period could a tubal pregnancy be diagnosed?
Yes, most women have normal periods following a tubal ligation. If you're cycle isn't regular see your OB/GYN.
Can you still have a tubal or ectopic pregnancy with a negative test result?
just wondering if you have a tubal litagation done and have been having regular periods than dont get one and is a week late with severe back pain and bilateral side pain, and constantly going to the bathroom what this means. if you did a home pregnancy test and it came back negative and have a history of them coming back negative until your second trimester can you still be pregnant with maybe an ectopic or tubal pregancy.
You had a tubal ligation and have had regular periods but this month it is very light What could be the problem?
It could just be stress or dietary changes....but considering the increased risk of tubal pregnancies after tubal ligation, it it wise to check with your DR.
Will a blood test show an ectopic pregnancy?
based on dates of your last period and how far along the doctor things you are, the blood test will show something is wrong if you have an ectopic pregnancy. it will have a lower Hcg count. I had an ectopic pregnancy and the doctor told me AFTER my tube ruptured 2 weeks after having blood test that my Hcg levels were kinda low for me being " 5 weeks"( at time of blood draw) Thinking back, when i first got pregnant i felt a really bad pain on my right side, that was the baby implanting in my tube instead of uterus. if you felt that something like that on either side, then perhaps it could be ectopic. if it hurts to make love in certain positions, then it could be ectopic. If you expierence any spotting and REALLY bad cramping, it could be a regular miscaraige or the tube ruptured. I went thru all of these things Hopefully you wont have to go thru what i have, but a blood test is a good way to see that something isn't right. And hopefully you don't have an idiot doctor either. If you do have an ectopic pregnancy, the dr can give you a certain chemotherapy drug to abort the baby and try to save your tube( my retard dr told me this also AFTER my tube ruptured) you can bleed to death if it does pop. i was very close to having to need a blood transfusion, i lost 3 donation bags worth of blood before i got surgery.
Can you still get pregnant with just a regular old tubal done?
There is a small risk of failure with all tubal ligation procedures.
Can a person have regular bleeding and are having signs of pregnancy can that be pregnancy?
Regular bleeding in general means you are not pregnant - if you feel you are having signs of pregnancy, take a test - that way you'll know for sure.
