What Happens

Normally, at the beginning of a pregnancy, the fertilized egg travels from the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it implants and grows. In about 2% of diagnosed pregnancies, however, the fertilized egg attaches to an area outside of the uterus, which results in an ectopic pregnancy (also known as a tubal pregnancy or an extrauterine pregnancy). 1

An ectopic pregnancy cannot support the life of a fetus for very long. However, an ectopic pregnancy can grow large enough to rupture the area it occupies, cause heavy bleeding, and endanger the mother. A woman with signs or symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy requires immediate medical care.

In most ectopic pregnancies, the fertilized egg has implanted in a fallopian tube. On rare occasions, the egg attaches and grows in an ovary, the cervix, or the abdominal cavity (outside of the reproductive system).

Although extremely rare, there are reports of women developing abdominal ectopic pregnancies after surgical removal of the uterus (hysterectomy). 6

See an illustration of locations where an ectopic pregnancy can develop.

Complications of ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic pregnancy can damage the fallopian tube, which can make it difficult to become pregnant in the future.

Ectopic pregnancies are usually detected early enough to prevent life-threatening complications such as severe bleeding. A ruptured ectopic pregnancy requires emergency surgery to prevent heavy bleeding into the abdomen. The affected tube is partially or fully removed. For more information, see the Surgery section of this topic.

Symptoms

An early ectopic pregnancy often feels like a normal pregnancy. A woman with an ectopic pregnancy may experience common signs of early pregnancy, such as:

A missed menstrual period.
Tender breasts.
Fatigue.
Nausea.
Increased urination.
As an ectopic pregnancy progresses, however, other symptoms develop, including:

Abdominal or pelvic pain, usually 6 to 8 weeks after a missed period. 2 Pain may get worse with movement or straining. It may occur sharply on one side at first and then spread throughout the pelvic region.
Vaginal bleeding that may be light or heavy.
Pain with intercourse or during a pelvic exam.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting (syncope) caused by internal bleeding.
Signs of shock.
Shoulder pain caused by bleeding into the abdomen under the diaphragm. The bleeding irritates the diaphragm and is experienced as shoulder pain.
Symptoms of miscarriage often are similar to symptoms experienced in early ectopic pregnancy. For more information, see the topic Miscarriage.

Answer 2

An ectopic pregnancy cannot support the life of a fetus for very long. However, an ectopic pregnancy can grow large enough to rupture the area it occupies, cause heavy bleeding, and endanger the mother. A woman with signs or symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy requires immediate medical care.

Answer 3

Yes, a home test will show that you are pregnant. Your HCG levels will rise, even with an ectopic pregnancy - they just don't rise very fast, which is an indicator of a problem.

If you have a history of miscarriage, or other things that might make the possibility of an ectopic more likely, please discuss these with your doctor. He/She can monitor your HCG levels, and if they are not rising as they should, they can do an ultrasound to see if they can find the pregnancy.

Good luck!

Answer 4

an ectopic pregnancy is when the embroy implants in the falopian tubes vs. the uterus. it should still show up on a home pregnancy test. your body is still pregnant and realeses the pregnancy hormone. it is this hormone that. a home test reads. if there are doubts go to the doctor. if you or some one that you know has this condition, then get to the doctor to seek medical advice immediately. if it grows large enough it could rupture the tube causing internal bleeding and also creating problems with future pregnancies.

Answer 5

Ectopic pregnancies is when the baby isoutside of the fallopian tubes. I think they still do show up on home test.

Answer 6

Yes.
They are; a baby that has gotten "stuck" in the fallopian tube.

You might experience pain on the side of your abdomen and spotting.

They can be potentially dangerous if the tube ruptures since it
will bleed, so see a doctors asap.

Hope this isn't the case, but don't gamble with your health.

Answer 7

I don't know if they show up on test, but my GUESS is no.
it is a pregnancy that it outside of the uterus. the fallopian tube missed the 2 pt shot basket to toss the egg into the uterus and it landed in the abdomen.. These kinds of pregnancies are very dangerous and usually end in a required abortion for your life. Anyone think i'm wrong? please correct me.

Answer 8

yes, ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilized egg is impregnated any where out side of the uterine wall

Answer 9

It Will be the same as a normal pregnancy (test wise)
but you will more than likely have pains in your shoulders and constant spotting. I've had one
