Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had sexual intercourse with my husband. Later, I experienced nausea for several days and discovered that I was pregnant. However, the pregnancy test showed unclear results. I am certain that I am pregnant and I am very worried that it might be an ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, I would like to consult a doctor. I want to ask if I have an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Ectopic pregnancy is also pregnancy, but the location where the gestational sac implants is different. An ultrasound can only detect the gestational sac if the pregnancy is less than 6-7 weeks. If your menstrual cycle is regular, you can usually detect pregnancy with a pregnancy test paper around day 30-40. If your period is delayed, the test time will also be delayed. If the pregnancy test is inconclusive, it may be due to delayed menopause and cannot be diagnosed as ectopic pregnancy. If you have been amenorrheic for more than 35 days, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.
