Ectopic pregnancies are usually diagnosed within the first 2 months of pregnancy, possibly before you know you are pregnant. The symptoms may be mild or they may be severe and dangerous. They can be the same as the symptoms of early pregnancy or other less serious conditions. Possible symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy are: 1. missed period or abnormal bleeding 2. pain in the lower abdomen or pelvis 3. symptoms of pregnancy such as breast tenderness or morning sickness.

I'm sure this is different for each person, but I just had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy and my symptoms were immediate. I began bleeding and having hard abdominal cramps before I even knew I was pregnant. I took a test that evening (to ease my mind, actually) and realized I was pregnant. I hadn't even had my first period. The doctors asked me why I took a test so early and I explained it was to ease my mind that I was not having a miscarriage. Because it was so early, however, it took a couple of weeks to determine it was an ectopic pregnancy and not a ruptured cyst/miscarriage--this was the first explanation. When the pain became centralized and worsened, they began further testing and diagnosed an ectopic. After the methotrexate shot didn't work, they did surgery and removed the fallopian tube carrying the pregnancy. Again, this could differ from person to person, but my pain was immediate and horrible. I would rather go through labor and emergency c-section (which I've had) than this again. But, thankfully, I have had the surgery and am on the road to recovery.

I had an ectopic pregnancy that grew in my fallopian tube. I was unaware of my condition until my tube burst and almost killed me. I was in total pain, like cramps, for about a whole week straight. Went to doctor but he sent me home with aspirin. After my tube burst, I was unconcious at home and bleeding internally. A friend found me, took me to the hospital, and they did emergency surgery immediately, removing my left fallopian tube.. If you suspect an ectopic pregnancy, demand an ultrasound before what happened to me happens to you. Take care.

Usually by about 8 weeks the fetus is big enough to cause some pretty unbearable pain.

Today you took a pregnancy test it was negative im on day 37 of your cycle im usually 29 day cycle what do you do next can this be an ectopic pregnancy?

If it was an ectopic pregnancy, you would still show positive on a pregnancy test. Do you have any other pregnancy symptoms? I would not consider pregnancy unless you feel you may be pregnant from some other sign.


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!

Will a home pregnancy test detect a ectopic pregnancy?

Yes, it will.I don't know who wrote that it will.... ^". Ectopic pregnancies don't always register on http://wiki.answers.com/0_home-pregnancy-tests_2029.bc, so if you suspect there's a problem, don't wait for a positive pregnancy test to contact your caregiver."source: babycenter.comyou could have an ectopic pregnancy and the test won't pick it up because your hormones aren't rising like they should so the at home test wont pick anything up..(I don't understand why people put answers when they don't know everything. I'm not a doctor or anything, but you can find out true facts on real credited resources... so at least research something before you go and write your opinion.)


How early can symptoms start with a second pregnancy?

Every pregnancy is different.You may start having a few symptoms (i.e. breast tenderness,possibly frequent urination) as early as 2 weeks into the pregnancy or symptoms might show up much later.Some women experience little or no symptoms at all.


How early can an ultrasound show an ectopic pregnancy?

Most definitely when you consider the size that the foetus would be at that stage of development, in fact I would think that you would have had some serious complications before it got to that stage in the pregnancy. I was 10 weeks and they said I was lucky the tube had not ruptured already. If you suspect from the symptoms you are experiencing that you are suffering an ectopic pregnancy I would contact your dr immediately.


What symptoms do dogs get when they have a phantom pregnancy?

The only difference between a phantom pregnancy and a real pregnancy is that with a phantom pregnancy you are not actually carrying a baby and you will usually have a period and a negative pregnancy test. You will have the same symptoms as a regular pregnancy and they can last at least as long as 7 months.Scroll down to related links and look at "False pregnancy - Wikipedia"


Will a traditional over the counter pregnancy test indicate the presence of a Nontubial ectopic pregnancy?

The answer depends on what exactly you are asking. If your asking if a pregnancy test will show you specifically whether or not a pregnancy is in the tues or not then NO it will not. A home pregnancy test only shows that HCG has been detected in your urine. Which usually means you're pregnant. Establishing the location of the pregnancy can only be done through ultrasound with the aid of a doctor. If your concerned about ectopic please speak with your doctor. Also watch for signs of fever,spotting, and abdominal/ovary pain. Good Luck.


When do you start symptoms of pregnancy?

It usually depends from person to person, some may show symptoms almost immediately while some women may show them at 6 weeks. But I your concerned about he symptoms then consult a doctor. Hope this has helped
