What are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?

When it comes to diagnosing this, it might be challenging. Your doctor will order an ultrasound if you show any signs of an ectopic pregnancy.
Our sonographer will do a thorough examination of your uterus and fallopian tubes during the ultrasound. It’s possible that you’re carrying an embryo outside your uterus if you test positive for pregnancy hormone hCG but the sonographer is unable to locate it.
In other words, it’s possible that you’ve miscarried or that you’re still in the early phases of an early-stage pregnancy.
The presence of an embryo in the fallopian tube confirms that an ectopic pregnancy has occurred. In many situations, the embryo dies shortly after it is implanted because it is too little for the sonographer to detect it with his or her ultrasound device. Swollen fallopian tubes, blood clots, and embryo tissue are also possible findings.
Even if you’re not in pain, another ultrasound and blood test will be performed in two days to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, your doctor will likely keep monitoring your condition using blood tests and ultrasounds in order to discuss treatment options with you.
