Avatar f tn Oh, I see, you are saying you suspect you are pregnant but do not know? And you don't want to go to the doctor for a blood test or ultrasound until you are sure? That makes sense, why waste a trip especially in this day and age of coronavirus?
Avatar f tn t distinguish an ectopic pregnancy from a healthy pregnancy with a urine test. The test is usually positive with both although ectopic pregnancy is generally associated with more slowly rising HCG. If you have excessive pain on one side that concerns you, the doctor can check with an ultrasound. If you're worried, it's better not to wait because later diagnosis can lead to surgery and serious complications such as tubal rupture. Caught early, it can sometimes be chemically terminated.
Avatar f tn If pregnancy is suspected, you should take a pregnancy test with first morning urine or see your doctor for blood testing. If you ARE pregnant, it's important to see where the pregnancy is. Your odds of it being Ectopic are higher after a ligation is done, and would require immediate medical attention.
Avatar f tn oh ok thanks bunmi1215, i hope i will be fine as well, dis is so strange to me i was always regular on the dot jus dont kno why things are going dis way it like two months now and all of a sudden i started bleeding with cramps,did another urine pregnancy test and it was negative,what could be wrong the doctors didnt check for anything else cuz they told me my urine was negative for infection and pregnancy that why they did further evaluate me am tired..........
Avatar n tn I also read somewhere that if the morning after pill fails that you are at an increase of having an ectopic pregnancy. This makes it even more important for the u/s since if it is not found in time it is possible to loose a tube. Ectopic pregnancies are usually not discovered until too late since many docs ignore the low HCG and don't perform a u/s until 10 - 12 weeks.
Avatar f tn If you already had an ectopic pregnancy your chances of having another ectopic pregnancy are higher than for other women. If you are late you need to contact your OBY as soon as possible an request a blood pregnancy test. With ectopic pregnancies the levels of HCG are very low and most of the time wouldn't be detected on regular urine pregnancy test. Good luck and please keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I ended up going to the docs I then had a urine test came back positive then referal for an ultrasound and blood tests...I went and had my u/s they didn't see anything so that day they did the internal u/s and I was then diagnosed with an ectopic at 7 weeks I then went to docs straight away he did up a referal for the hospital I went in that day straight into surgery...I lost my right tube...
Avatar n tn Ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, for example it may implant in a fallopian tube. Sometimes with an ectopic pregnancy "debris" can be seen in the uterus which is mistaken for fetus in the uterus. Ectopic pregnancy is dangerous can is often associated with low HCG levels but what you describe doesnt really sound like this. HPT = home pregnancy test. If your HCG levels really are less than 5 then a HPT will be negative.
Avatar m tn An ectopic would still give you a positive on a HPT. Besides by now the pain would be unbearable. So that is not the case. Are you receiving conception support?
Avatar f tn I bled through 15 pads in one day, heavy pads and went to the hospital the next day where they performed a urine pregnancy test that came back negative, although they took my blood they didnt check for pregnancy. I became anemic and told its just a DUB/Super period from all the ones i missed. Sounded like bs. On the follow up with my ob/gyn, he took blood (05/25) and my results came back positive but low, 23.7.
689265 tn?1251130087 s coca cola just to squeeze a bit of pee out. Hospital urine test came up negative. I immediately started worrying that this was another ectopic because i had this exact same situation with tests with my last ectopic. Dr knew this history and told me to go to the early pregnancy unit on monday and try to get some blood tests done. It was sixteen days after sex when the hospital test came up negative.
Avatar f tn Last year, before i found out that I got ectopic pregnancy, I was late for 2 months. I did urine test 3 times and they were all negative. And then dr. did blood test and it came back positive. Two weeks later, I got light bleeding and painful cramping. Dr. did USG and they saw nothing in my womb. I did D&C to see if there's fetal tissue and the result was negative. Then, dr. gave me methotrexate shot. Sadly, it didn't work. That's why I must undergo surgery and lost my tube.
Avatar m tn Hi there. Well, periods can just be late for no reason at all. It's frustrating I know. Sometimes our thyroid can be slow or fast and this can cause it. Sometimes our body will just naturally shift hormones. For a period of time, I made too much estrogen. Then it regulated back. So, if you are regular typically and this is out of the blue and you've been trying to conceive ---- I would call your doctor. Things to check on are an ectopic pregnancy.
Avatar f tn So could it be possible i could be having another ectopic pregnancy, I just took a pregnancy test I think it was negative I thought I saw a very very very faint line but it was probbly my eyes playing tricks on me
Avatar f tn BUT just to put your mind at rest a little, the shoulder pain would literally be unbareable, and I also had pains in my left side with this pregnancy which was due to a small cyst on my ovary which is very common in early pregnancy, I am now 34 weeks gone. Pain at the beginning of pregnancy is common and shoulder pain is also a sign of wind.
Avatar f tn The pregnancy needs to be interrupted as a ectopic pregnancy can rupture which is a potentially fatal issue for the mom. (bleed out). I'm sorry for your situation.
Avatar f tn They can do a blood test to check hcg levels to see if there is a rise or decrease the next time they do one our do a transvaginal ultrasound to check for an ectopic pregnancy. St the beginning of my pregnancy I had severe pain on the right side and bleeding. The first thing I thought of was that but after 2 ultrasounds and blood work my doctor said she could not tell what was causing the pain. I even cried from the pain of the transvaginal ultrasound and she had to stop.
Avatar f tn I had an eptopic pregnancy i had a ton of blood in my urine for about 2 weeks before i took a prego test the same day i took the test my stomach bloated out all funny and i started getting severe pain in my left side the ran up the left side of my back it was very uncomfortable and there was no way i could deny something was wrong......
1544482 tn?1293480507 After many blood and urine tests, together with pelvic exam, abdominal and vaginal ultrasound and HCG at 2400, I was diagnosed with threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. I returned on Dec 20 for a HCG test at 3000, and another ultrasound, the doctor said "I'm pretty sure that you are having a tubal pregnancy" and asked me to choose between methotrexate and surgery. We chose MTX and agreed to have the injections on the same day.
Avatar n tn fetus heartbeat stopped at 7 weeks but i had been pregnant with the ectopic for 4 months! I was lucky my tube didnt rupture.I suggest getting a blood test and if they dont find anything, maybe get the pituitary looked at.
Avatar f tn I had an ectopic in 2008 and also lost my right tube. They should have been monitoring your hcg levels to make sure they had gone down to 0 in the first place to make sure they didn't leave anything behind. With them staying the same it look more to be left over from your previous ectopic, but time will tell. It's also advisable NOT to have sex for at least 6 weeks after they surgery. DH and I did 5 weeks after the surgery and I got scolded by my dr.
