What are the signs & symptoms of a tubal/ectopic pregnancy?

Q. What are the signs & symptoms of a tubal/ectopic pregnancy? Also do you still get your period during an ectopic pregnancy?

A. In the very early stages, tubal pregnancy symptoms are just like those of a healthy pregnancy. A little morning sickness, some breast tenderness, being tired, and missed periods.

After 5 weeks, more specific symptoms include cramping or pain in the abdomen, spotting, and dizziness or light-headedness.

You would miss your periods if it is a tubal pregnancy.

There are tests which your doctor can run. They include a pelvic exam, both external and internal...trying to find unusual qualities and will check to see if your uterus looks to be the proper size for the baby�s length of gestation.

Hope that helps


What's the difference between an ectopic pregnancy and a ruptured ectopic pregnancy?
Q. The question above speaks for itself but here are some further questions. What are the pain differences? Would it be a noticeable difference where you can't bear it or would the symptoms gradually get worse and kind of be flashes of pain? How far into the ectopic pregnancy until it's likely to rupture? Please&ThankYou.

A. A friend of mine had an ectopic pregnancy in which her fallopian tube ruptured and had to be removed.

I believe she was 9-10 weeks along.

You would KNOW if your fallopian tube ruptured. You would be in unspeakable, unbearable pain. If you were having an ectopic pregnancy, you'd be feeling intense, sharp pains on one side of your lower abdomen.

If you think you're having one, go to the ER, ASAP. They aren't anything to play around with. It needs to be removed right away!!


How soon can an ectopic pregnancy be detected?
Q. Every online health site says that I have the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. It's only been about two weeks since my last period. I have a pain in my lower left side and it feels really hard, like a bump or something. The pain moves to my lower back and my upper abdomen from time to time, but it generally stays in the my side, and it's there constantly. I also noticed that it feels worse when I cough or sneeze. Anyone have any input as to what this could be?

A. Not enough time. They are looking closer to two or three MONTHS, not weeks

You can't even be certain if you've implanted


How often does an ectopic pregnancy occur?
Q. And what are the symptoms and/or what problems could occur durig the ectopic pregnancy?

A. I heard that ectopic pregnancies are not too common. The only symptom that I know of during this kind of pregnancy is bleeding. Other then your regular period I mean. And you could also have a internal bleeding which could cause serious problems.
