Is it still possible to have an ectopic pregnancy at 76 days pregnant?

Patient's question:

The onset of symptoms occurred at 68 days of pregnancy with some minor skin peeling, but there was no lower abdominal pain. A detailed ultrasound examination revealed no gestational sac inside the uterus.

Doctor's answer:

Abortion and ectopic pregnancy are definitely related, and their harmfulness doubles. The more times a woman has an abortion, the higher the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Usually, after getting pregnant, the main purpose of an MRI examination is to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. You are currently pregnant, but there is no gestational sac inside the uterus, which means the fetus is not inside the uterus. As long as it is not inside the uterus, it is ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy can rupture at different times depending on the location. Generally, it ruptures between 6-12 weeks, but in some cases, it may rupture only between 3-4 months. Therefore, even if you are pregnant for 76 days, there is still a possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
