What are the signs of a ectopic pregnancy miscarraige?

Q. Ectopic pregnancies rarely resolve on their own, and usually need medication and or surgery. But if the ectopic pregnancy resolves on its own, what are the signs of this?

A. The first symptom that is usually reported by women with ectopic pregnancies is light vaginal bleeding or spotting, which is accompanied by one-sided pelvic pain. The pain is often described as sharp or stabbing and the intensity may vary at intervals. In severe cases such that of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, pelvic pain may be associated with abdominal pain that radiates to the shoulder or neck. Other symptoms to look out for are dizziness, low back pain, hypotension or low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.

Ectopic pregnancies do not resolve on their own. Treatment of an ectopic pregnancy may vary, and it can largely depend on whether there is an immediate need for surgery. In cases of a ruptured fallopian tube, an emergency surgery is needed in order to stop the bleeding. If the fallopian tube and ovary are damaged, removal may be necessary. But if the condition is detected early and the fallopian tube is still intact, a laparoscopic surgery may be performed to remove the embryo and to repair the damage. This procedure is less invasive because only a small incision is needed for the repairs to be done.

For a pregnancy that is not very far along, surgery is usually not the first option because a drug called Methotrexate is usually enough to halt the development of pregnancy. But regardless of the treatment option, doctors would still continue to monitor a woman�s hCG levels to ensure that pregnancy was successfully terminated. If hCG levels remain elevated, additional treatment methods may be necessary either through medications or even surgery.

Hope this helps!

What is the latest a woman could carry an ectopic pregnancy before she would know?
Q. How late could a woman carry an ectopic pregnancy before it starts with the severe pain? Lets say a woman is 9 weeks into her pregnancy but doesn�t have an OB appointment till the 11th week. Would she have shown the signs of ectopic pregnancy, severe pains, blood, back pain and dizziness by the 9th week or could it take later to show up?

A. 9 weeks would be showing by now. You'd have really bad stomach pains and you would be bleeding quite a bit.


How early can pregnancy signs start ?
Q. How early can pregnancy signs start . Its been a week since conseption and i get a little sick in the morning but I don't throw up . My boobs don't hurt yet . I had an ectopic pregnancy before. Can anyone tell me when to take a test or how early signs start ?

A. Hi Jennifer,

Pregnancy symptoms begin at different times for different women. Usually morning sickness or nausea will begin anywhere from 4-6 weeks gestation. Early pregnancy tests will detect if there is HCG in your urine. Although some are able to test before a period is missed it doesn't work for all. Make sure you are using first morning urine when you do test. If you have had a ectopic pregnancy the best bet is to contact your physician as soon as you suspect you may be pregnant. It is better to be safe then sorry.

Best of luck!
