Could this be an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I had a hysterosalpingogram in January. The imaging findings were as follows: The patient was prepared according to routine, and the pelvic plain film showed no fibrosis. 76% compound meglumine was injected into the uterus, and the uterus appeared as an inverted triangle, with good uterine cavity filling; both fallopian tubes were visualized, with slight tortuosity and expansion at the distal ends. 20 minutes later, the film showed that the contrast agent spilled into the peritoneal cavity and was arranged within the pelvis, forming a peritoneal coating.
History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: I became pregnant in February after this procedure.
What kind of help is needed: I don’t know how "slight tortuosity and expansion at the distal ends" could lead to an ectopic pregnancy. I don’t know how "slight tortuosity and expansion at the distal ends" could lead to an ectopic pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your condition makes the possibility of ectopic pregnancy relatively small, as it occurs near the fallopian tube during conception. It will then move towards the uterine cavity and implant in the uterus. It is recommended that you undergo an MRI to examine the fetal condition. Generally, ectopic pregnancy will manifest symptoms such as abdominal pain and bleeding around the one-month mark of pregnancy. For ectopic pregnancy patients, in addition to medication to alleviate symptoms, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual intercourse, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
