What is the probability of an ectopic pregnancy with a blastocyst?

Patient's question:

Want to ask the doctor what is the general probability of ectopic pregnancy? If it is really ectopic pregnancy, does the child have to be miscarried?

Doctor's answer:

A blastocyst can also lead to an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can occur based on the implantation site of the fertilized egg, such as in the fallopian tubes (early pregnancy), the cervix or cornual region, and excluding early pregnancy in the ovaries or abdominal cavity. Depending on the location, the growth and development of the fertilized egg differ. Around 40 days into the pregnancy, a careful ultrasound examination reveals no gestational sac in the uterine cavity, suggesting ectopic pregnancy. Further diagnostic tests are necessary. After diagnosis, treatment must be tailored to the specific location.
