Ectopic Pregnancy

You should see your doctor immediately. He/she can test your blood for hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone that is produced by the developing fetus. Ectopic pregnancies produce much higher levels of this hormone than normal, intrauterine, pregnancies, and your doctor can use this as the first clue.

Additionally, most ectopic pregnancies of eight weeks can be detected using ultrasound. If the ectopic pregnancy itself is not detectable by this method, the presence or absence of a gestational sac in the uterus can be an additional clue.

The most important point, however, is not to panic, but to make an appointment to see your obstetrician as soon as possible.

A tubal pregnancy is a pregnancy in which the fertilized egg implants itself somewhere besides the uterine lining and the fetus cannot survive.

The fallopian tube in which the embryo is located will burst when the growing embryo reaches a size which can no longer be contained. Parts of the patients will get the tubal blockage after the ectopic pregnancy treatment, so we would ask if it has a direct relationship with the ectopic pregnancy. If you have problems with tubal blockage, fuyan pill may help.

To put it in very simple terms. Pregnancy is the result of an Ovum or eg that is released by the woman once a month being fertilized by sperm which is produced by a man getting together. That is when the sperm of the man enters the ovum of the woman they begin to multiply. the woman's uterus is built in such a way as to give the fertilized egg a place to settle down and develop getting sustainance from the mother. the sperm of the man is introduced by the mans errect penis being pushed up the woman's vagina. after a period of movement stimulating the penis the male wil have an orgasm leading to an ejaculation of sperm bearing semen. there are many millions of sperm released only 1 of which is required to fertilize the ovum.

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.)

If the person with heart disease is able to find an effective means of controlling ventricular ectopic beats, the outlook is good.

Fluctuations in an individual's blood pressure are normal during the course of a day. When one awakens, the blood pressure is lower as a result of the decreased metabolism and physical activity during sleep. As metabolism and activity increases during the day, the blood pressure rises.

I recently had surgery, and I was able to drive about a week later. (I probably could have done it sooner, but you will probably be on pain meds which interfere with your ability to drive). As long as you can handle the pain of sitting up as your stomach muscles heal, you can drive. I would say that without meds you could drive within a day or two.

pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)

A Blood test can detect a pregnancy as early as 7-12 days from conception, so a woman may not have even missed her period yet. The test is looking for the hormone HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) which is produced by the placenta of a pregnant woman.

Yes.

Both ovaries still ovulate and you still have one tube.

Based on the pictures in the books of a nice T shaped uterus and tubes one might think that fertility would be reduced by half after an ectopic pregnancy. In reality, things are not that neat and the ovaries are usually closer together than depicted so the egg from one ovary can go down the other tube. As a result the fertility rate after losing one tube only drops to 70% of normal (rather than 50%).

Certainly! An ectopic pregnancy is not a condition that affects your reproductive organs such as endometriosis. It also has no affect on the number of future embyo's. 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.

Yes you can. I did and I didnt find out until I got pregnant again the following month. I had a very normal period and a normal cycle and ovulated on on CD 14 (with an ectopic in progress without my acknowledgment at the time). I ended up taking a HPT at 8DPO and got a VERY dark BFP so I went and got my blood work done that day. My beta results came back 1500!! Well at 14DPO my tube burst due to the ectopic pregnancy that I never knew I had which almost killed me in the process. About a week later they found another baby in my uterus when doing an ultrasound after my beta numbers were not going down but doubling instead. The doctor told me that I must of gotten pregnant back to back because the Ectopic was about 8wks along (they did lab testing on the remainders) and the pregnancy I was carrying in my uterus was only 4wks when my tube ruptured. Unfortunetly I ended up losing the baby in my uterus too, at 12wks. I am also pregnant again but the doctor suspects its another ectopic which I am very concerned about, since this is my only tube left. My beta levels have not been doubling as they should and I have been having some discomfort on that one side, not to mention spotting early on that lingered around for awhile. I never knew trying to have a baby would be so difficult, but it is, it is for me and many other couples out there. I've been trying to conceive my first for 3yrs now.

In the 3rd week of pregnancy called gastrulation, specialized cells on the dorsal side of the fetus begin to change shape and form the neural tube.

you begin to gain wait all over after about 2-3 months but depending on how skinny you are you'll show around the same time or a month before or after.

Hiya! A increase in HCG through a blood test can be detected by a Quantitative blood test, 42 hours after being previously tested.

There are two types of pregnancy tests available though your Dr, blood and urine. Blood tests can show positive 8-10 days past ovulation and urine tests are most reliable 14-16 days past ovulation.

your question was not very specific, if both fallopian tubes are removed, you might want to try invitro fertilization. your egg and your spouse's sperm can be incubated, then implanted into you, and you will be able to carry the baby as long as you have your uterus. Hopes this helps.

Hello Yes, I am afraid that there is - I have just been through this. I had a 'normal' first 11 weeks of pregnancy with no bleeding or stomach pains - I did have sickness but I thought this was normal pregnancy morning sickness. At 10.5 weeks I suddenly got some bleeding (light) and stomach pains like period pains. I had a scan 2 days later and they discovered - after some investigation - that it was ectopic although I had not had the typical symptoms. I had a laproscopy when I was excately 11 weeks. I don't think my story is typical but it can happen. Julie L. Oxford.

I had a 12 week ectopic pregnancy in '04. I had been experiencing pain for 4 weeks prior, saw 3 doctors who blamed my pain on GI issuess, etc. I finally went to my parents geriatric doctor who did a pelvic and sent me for ultrasound. I was sent immediately to the ER from the ultrasound for a ruptured ectopic. Rupture time varies from woman to woman but I was told that I was very lucky to be alive considering the shape I was in and how long I had been experiencing the pain. I lost the right tube and ovary but went on to become pregnant again in 07. The pregnancy only lasted 25 weeks due to incompetant cervix but the baby is fine and now I'm DONE with pregnancy for good! ;p I'm not tempting fate anymore.

It is possible but not likely. There could be a few possibilities. It was not a very accurate test. You did not do it right. Or it could be a little to early for the particular test you took, and the hormones are not in your urine. A store bought pregnancy test will not defintely tell you if you are pregnant in the early months only a trained professional can.

It's different for everyone. For me it was in mt fourth month I started to show. Most women can tell themselves by about 14-15 weeks but it may be another few weeks before other people notice, particularly if you have very good muscle tone, or have a fat layer covering the area.

Not that I'm aware of, but have it checked out. It sounds like it could be apendicitis. It's not appendicitis. I get it on both sides it's just more noticeable on my left side. Big difference btwn this pain & that kind of pain. Thank you for your reply I appreciate it. Anyone else have any idea if this is a pg symptom? Or, anyone who is pg ever experienced this? I plan on testing on Friday if my period does not show up by then. I had the same thing happen to me with my 1st daughter. I actually went into the emegency room for a pain on my left side that would not go away. They took a pregnency test and it came back positive Yes, I hear it is quite normal. Your pg body is doing alot of shifting & stretching to accomodate the little one inside you. However, if it becomes too painful or, does not go away then you should call your Dr. right away. Pulling pain on your side is definitely a symptom, it occurs because the uterus is stretching to get ready for the baby.

The sensation you are feeling is caused by your ligaments stretching. You may often feel this when you change positions while lying down or getting up abruptly. It sort of feels like your ovary is twisting.

Thank you all for your replys to my question. It is indeed a indication of pregnancy. I took a test 3 days after asking this question & it was very much +. I am now almost 12 weeks along. Your appendix is on the right side of your body so you can rule out appendicitis Sharp pains are a sign of pregnancy, it was one of my first signs this time with #4. My pains are on both sides, I have heard that sharp pain on one side is a sign of tubal pregnancy, which if left undetected can cause your tube to rupture. Could just be nothing but I would at least check with my doctor if the pain is one sided. It may also be an ovarian cyst that comes and goes. an ultrasound can confirm that for you. Warning! I had the same thing. It felt like a bad cramp and got worse around my abdomen area. I was rushed to the hospital but in face it was my right ovary and they had to remove it. The blood supply tube to the right ovary twisted and swelled up my ovary. Please, if it gets worse, go to the hospital, as the ovary will die after 1 day while twisting. Lower your stress and do not wear any tighly buttoned jeans. I have the same pain and am a little concerned myself. I took a PG test and it was neg., but I think I took it too early. I am showing every other sign of being PG, though. I think the best thing to do would be to schedule a Dr. apptmt. as soon as you can get one to be sure that everything will go smoothly. I'm sure you are fine, though. Good luck! CONGRATS!!!
