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 is an ectopic pregnancy and how it can happen?
An ectopic pregnancy is when the embryo plants itself anywhere other than the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube. The egg does not make its way through the fallopian tube, so it is implanted and stationary at this point. The most common reasons for this are: scar tissue, previous ectopic pregnancy(ies), use of IUD, and others. I just had surgery for an ectopic, so what I've given you is just information I've received from my doctors and what I've read online. Hope this helps.

Why is the ampulla the most common place for an ectopic pregnancy?
The risk of ectopic pregnancy and even the location of such should it happen, differs depending on the pregnancy was a result of natural conception of through a form of assisted reproductive technology (such as in-vitro fertilization).Generally, most ectopic pregnancy occur somewhere within the fallopian tube, the ampullary region being the most likely area in natural and assisted conception. Ectopic pregnancies can also occur in the cervix, ovaries and the abdominal cavity; however an occurrence of an ectopic pregnancy in these locations is rare; less than 3.5% in natural conception and just over 6% with assisted reproduction.
Can ectopic pregnancy be positive on urine test?
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.
Had an etopic in 2004 then had a bady in 2005 cud you have an etopic again?
Unfortunately there are no guarantees against you having or not having another ectopic pregnancy, partially because the reasons for ectopic pregnancy are really unknown at the time. It can be difficult physically and emotionally after the loss of a child when trying to conceive again. I would recommend that you let a few people that are close to you in your life know that you want to try again and make sure you have their support. It is always good to know that you have a few people that you can have help you through these times. Just make sure that you are ready to try again emotionally, as well as your partner and then you will just need to asses whether or not you are ready to try again because there are chances that it could happen again, especially if you had to have surgery to remove your last one. If your fallopian tubes were not obstructed in any way from your last ectopic pregnancy, you have about a 60% chance of having a successful pregnancy in the future.
I haven't had my period for a month and haly now after my surgery for ectopic pregnancy and have checked the pregnancy but its negative y?
After a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy it typically takes a woman 6-7 weeks to begin menstruating again. Some women will menstruate just like normal, right on schedule, but others will take longer. If you haven't gotten your period back by 8 weeks, I would call your OBGYN for a checkup.
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.
