They should know much sooner than that, due to the fact that the fetus can't grow outside the uterus without rupturing the supporting tissue. Most women have excruciating pain and spotting anywhere from 4-8 weeks that alerts them to the problem. Also, it is a good idea to have a prenatal screening and ultrasound well before the 14 week mark, and this would reveal any abnormalities or inconsistencies with HCG levels.
Not necessarily. I had an ectopic pregnancy that was not discovered until my 1st ultrasound at 10 weeks. I had no pain or bleeding at all.
you may want to visit the doctor, it could be an ectopic pregnancy
If the ectopic pregnancy has been terminated (either medically or naturally) it should take around 2-5 weeks for your body to realise what has happen and ovulate again.
If you have an ectopic it's a ectopic from the start so yes.
From what I have read, it is usually around 6 weeks. If you have signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy, you should get to the hospital as soon as possible because it can be life threatening. Here is a website that tells you about the symptoms and explains everything.http://kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_newborn/pregnancy/ectopic.html
I had an ectopic pregnancy and had my tube removed two weeks ago, I bled lightly for two days, I guess it differs from woman to woman.
Hi, I had an Ectopic pregnancy and my right tube was removed.This was my first pregnanacy and I was devastated with the experience.. Doctor suggested me to avoid pregnancy for at least 6months..So waiting for That now..
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.
I am not sure what you mean by safe... no ectopic pregnancy is really considered safe. You do need to have surgery as soon as possible to have it removed, or it may rupture and cause more damage. I was only 5 weeks when my doctors detected mine, and I was sent into surgery that day. I am so happy I went when I did, because I started having severe pain when waiting at the hospital to go into surgery. If the doctors have not detected it yet, and you truly feel you have symptoms... call them immediately and let them now how you feel. I am sure they will do a blood test or altrasound to make sure you are okay. Hope this helped...Good Luck!
I had an ectopic (tubular) pregnancy, and my home pregnancy test was positive by 5 weeks. I would go to your obgyn and get a blood test. They can check hormone levels to see if you are pregnant, how far along you may be, and if they feel it may be ectopic. Good Luck!
Ectopic pregnancy is a serious health risk for the mother, so the fetus must be aborted.
According to my dr. my uteurs grew I had an ectopic pregnancy of about 5-6 weeks. The dr. told me I had a healthy 5 week uterus. 2 days later my tube ruptered. I'd go get a second oppinion if I were you.
