Patient's question:
Just recently pregnant, feeling sad about an ectopic pregnancy. How long does it usually take to find out if it's an ectopic pregnancy? Hello, how long does it take to know about ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If your menstrual cycle has been normal in the past, but it is delayed by about ten days this time, and a pregnancy test or early pregnancy test strip shows pregnancy, or a blood test at the hospital confirms pregnancy, but an ultrasound cannot see a gestational sac inside the uterine cavity, then there should be a high suspicion of ectopic pregnancy. This is because, under normal circumstances, a gestational sac can be seen inside the uterine cavity around the 40th day of pregnancy, and further careful examination needs to be conducted to confirm.
