Answer:
Signs for ectopic pregnancy varies from person to person. The most common symptoms are ons sided pain in the abdomen accompanied with brown (prune juice like) discharge. If you suspect ectopic pregnancy, please see your doctor immediately and ask for a pelvic ultrasound. If a gestational sac or the foetus is seen in the uterus, then the pregnancy is intra-uterine and there is no need to worry. A gestational sac can be seen from 5 weeks and a few days. If the gestational sac is not seen in the scan either in the uterus or the tubes, the doctor will monitor you for HCG (every 2 days). Low hcg rise could mean either ectopic or natural miscarriage. If the hcg rise is abnormally high, the doctor will suspect ectopic.
If there is shoulder tip pain, it could mean that the tube has ruptured and there is internal bleeding, so please go to the hospital immediately.
