Ectopic Pregnancy

It is really unknown at the time about what causes an ectopic pregnancy.

The history of the test tube babies is that the first successful test tube baby was in 1978. This happened in Great Britain.

A normal pregnancy is when the foetus grow in the womb where it's supposed to be, whereas an ectopic pregnancy is where the foetus is growing in the fallopian tubes, this is very serious if you suspect an ectopic pregnancy go strait to you GP or nearest A&E department, Ectopic pregnancies can be potentially life threatening.

Yes, that is a sign, but it is also a sign of ovulating. Wait for your period to start & if it doesn't take a test.

Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include missed period, tender/swollen breasts, change in color of the breasts, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, increased sense of smell, and weight gain.

The first recorded, treated case of an ectopic pregnancy was back in the 1970's. This was the first time one was successfully removed.

It is very likely! On rare occasions you can encounter a false positive due to improper testing, expired pregnancy tests, rare medical conditions such as certain types of cancer, evaporation lines or a chemical pregnancy.

for Me, I bled so much and there was tissue in the blood as well. My Fallopian tube ruptured from the growth of the fetus. I was bleeding internally for a week. I thought I had my period but once I noticed that my flow was still extremely heavy and at a constant I was a little concerned but oblivious. After it was a week and still bleeding, I knew something was up. I got myself to urgent care when I saw that I was bruised around my belly button and couldn’t have bumped myself to cause it cause I was lying in bed for two days in pain. I thought I had menstruation cramping.

Not normally ... her body thinks its pregnant.

I have just recovered from laparascopic salpingectomy. From the vast amount of literature I've read, the degree of pain in ectopic pregnancies can vary from none at all to severe. I had a positive pregnancy test on the day my period was due and assumed that all was well (as I had two previous healthy pregnancies) until the following week when I had some very slight brown spotting. I had had some persistent abdominal pain, particularly to the right of the belly button but had assumed it was the uterus 'stretching' to accomodate a growing baby. We went to A&E on a Saturday morning where we were sent to the early pregnancy department expecting to be told to go home and ensure I got plenty of rest. Blood tests revealed the pregnancy was not progressing as it should however we were sent home as I was clinically well enough. Bloods were monitored for a week every 48 hours. I had cramping and light to moderate bleeding on the Monday but this had stopped by Tuesday afternoon. The next Saturday I had excrutiating pain that felt like really strong contractions but no bleeding. The last blood taken on the Sunday revealed that the HCg levels had risen quite significantly and the doctor called that evening to ask that I be admitted either that evening or the next morning. As the pain was bearable we decided to go in the morning. Unfortunately the pain in my right side became very severe, very quickly that evening around the belly button area and radiating downwards - I couldn't believe how quickly the pain worsened. Twice I almost collapsed as I felt really dizzy/faint - I had a real panicky sense that something was just very, very wrong. We went straight to the hospital and 45 minutes later I was in theatre. My advice is that if you feel you may have an ectopic pregnancy, don't wait for the pain to worsen to confirm it - ectopic pregnancies can be fatal and the sooner they are detected the better.

No, in a tubal ligation, the doctor puts a tiny clip on each fallopian tube. This procedure essentially blocks the path of the egg to the uterus. The inside of a fallopian tube is small, literally just a few hair's widths in diameter, to begin with so the likelyhood that a woman would get pregnant "easily" after a tubal ligation is slim, although not impossible.

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.

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!

Unfortunately, not often. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg is implanted outside the womb, but there have been babies, in extremely rare situations, where a healthy baby has been born. Most recently a baby weighing 6 pounds 2 oz. was born in Australia, the sonogram that was done mid-way through the pregnancy did not reveal the ectopic pregnancy. The doctors did not know until they started the cesarean. Most cases do not end this way, and the mother and baby's life can be at risk.

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.

Yes you can, but the chances are only about 60% that you will conceive. I had my left tube removed due to an ectopic pregnancy in Nov 2007 and I have not been able to conceive yet...but never lose hope!

Ruling out ectopic pregnancy is no different with or without Depo Provera. First, the pregnancy test is positive. Second, there is a pelvic mass, or abnormal ultrasound, or abnormal change in hCG levels. Contact your health care provider if you think you may be having a tubal pregnancy, as you cannot diagnose this condition at home.

Yes they do. The eggs are collected from the woman and fertilised in the lab. Once they have fertilised and started to divide to become embryos they are returned to the woman's uterus. They then have the same potential to implant in the uterus lining and grow into a foetus and placenta connected by an umbilical cord just like an embryo created by more 'normal' means.

itchiness is a problem in pregnancy that has something to do with a liver function problem, if you think you are pregnant you need to go to an ob/gyn and find out as soon as possible. ~pawsalmighty

Some home tests you can take a few days before you are supposed to start your period. I don't know what kinds, but if you read the box, it will tell you when you can take it. Or you can go to the doctor and they can give you a blood test. These can determine pregnancy much sooner than a urine test.

Yes. if a pregnancy has started outside the uterus it cannot survive and is extremely dangerous for the mother. Well, a baby cannot survive during an ectopic pregnancy. So the pregnancy will either be terminated or the baby will be lost before it is terminated.

A home pregnancy test can not detect an ectopic pregnancy. If you have gotten a postitive pregnancy test here is what you need to do.IF YOU DO EXPECT YOU DO HAVE AN ECOTOPIC PREGNANCY YOU SHOULD GET LOOKED AT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Possible complications are- Loss of embryo, Infertility and serious cases death this happens when the fallopen tube the embryo is in ruptures from the growing embryo and it can be a very serious risk to your health. -Go to your family doctor or nearest walk in clinic and get a refferal to get a blood test to confirm pregnancy - you should also ask for a refferal for an ultrasound to check how far along you are.***(THRU AN ULTRASOUND THEY CAN DETECT AN ECOTPIC PREGNANCY)*** consider all your options if you are pregnant -keeping the pregnancy -abortion(must be 6 to 8 weeks to have an abortion) In Canada they will not preform abortions after 16 weeks however in the States I believe they will do them up to 21 weeks. I personally do not believe in abortion I'm just trying to inform you to make your own decision. -adoption -once results are in ask your family doctor or doctor you are currently seeing if he can refer you to an obctetrician (get on thiss there is a huge baby boom right now and if you want a doctor with you thru out your pregnancy to monitor you and your baby there can be long waiting lists depending on your location) hope this is helpful best of luck
