Is bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Early pregnancy bleeding, now over 50 days, it's hard to tell if it's an ectopic pregnancy or an intrauterine one. The embryo hasn't grown in a week.

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, there should be no vaginal bleeding during pregnancy. If there is any peeling, it may indicate a possible threatened miscarriage. In early pregnancy, the embryo grows rapidly, and by the 35th day of pregnancy, the fetal bud and heartbeat can be seen. Within a week, the gestational sac can become noticeably larger. If after a week there is still no visible fetal bud and heartbeat, it may suggest that the embryo has already stopped growing. If the gestational sac is not even visible, it could either be a missed miscarriage or, more likely, an ectopic pregnancy. Please refer to the ultrasound monitoring data for confirmation. For severe cases of ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
