When I was 5.5 wks pregnant they couldnt find anything in my uterus either not to mention that my hcg levels had dropped from 40 to 11.7 my Dr thought for sure that I had an ectopic pregnancy and was convinced that my body was disposing of it on its own OMG I was a wreack!! My Dr. wanted to give me a shot to speed up the miscarriage and I talked him into waiting 2 wks. At that time I had had no bleeding or cramping and still a positive test so we checked my hcg again and it was over 9600 at that time we did an u/s and came to find that I was carring a very healthy 7.5 week old baby. So unless you are bleeding and in alot of pain on one side or the other take your time making any decision.... I thank god every day for encouraging me to wait. BTW I am now 22.2 wks pregnant with a very heathy baby boy!!

If its early enough there is a medicine they can give you to disolve it but maybe you arny far enough along to see the baby? I had an eptopic in November it had to be cut out I think it took about a week for me to be up and moving around good luck

It definitly proves that what God wants for you, you will get!! We know our bodies better than anyone else, I changed Dr. and now have an amazing one if I say something is wrong he takes action right away, At 14 wks I started bleeding so bad I thought I was going to die not to mention lose this baby, But fourtanutly I knew something was wrong and seen my Dr. the day before it started and he knew just what to do an u/s I was diognost with placenta previa but because my Dr. listened to me we were able to take care of it. This pregnancy has been an absoulute miricale. So if you need someone to talk to or share with please feel free to add me as a friend!!

well, i ended up not having a tuble... but here is what i had looked up... maybe this will help the op...

Ectopic Pregnancy Symptoms

The most common tubal pregnancy symptoms are:

  1. The first sign of ectopic pregnancy is a sudden pain on one side of the stomach.
  2. If you are pregnant and if you get pain in your shoulder while you are inhaling or exhaling, the chances of your having an ectopic pregnancy are very high.
  3. If you experience pain while using the bathroom, there is a strong likelihood that your pregnancy is ectopic.
  4. If your periods are unusual and/or if you have an abnormal vaginal discharge with a strange color, likelihood of ectopic pregnancy is high.
  5. The other tubal pregnancy symptoms are pale complexion, diarrhea, collapse, sickness, low blood pressure, light-headedness and an increase in the pulse rate.

How To Recognize Ectopic Pregnancy

Since ectopic pregnancy symptoms are mostly similar to the symptoms of a normal pregnancy, it is not easy to recognize the presence of ectopic pregnancy. However, if you have the normal symptoms such as tender breast, nausea, frequent urination, missed periods, or vomiting along with the above mentioned ectopic pregnancy symptoms, the likelihood of the pregnancy being ectopic are very high. It is important for an expectant mother to keep reading books and magazines related to this subject in order to increase her knowledge.

An important indication of the presence of ectopic pregnancy is that the size of the womb will be small indicating that the fetus is not growing inside the womb but outside in the fallopian tubes. This can, however, only be detected by a doctor after he does an internal pelvic examination. An ultrasound scan and a specialized hCG blood test will have to be done in order to confirm the diagnosis.

Ectopic surgery can be treated with keyhole surgical intervention, which is not very dangerous. Moreover, some cases can be treated with medication too. However, if there is any indication of tubal pregnancy symptoms, the concerned doctor should be contacted immediately.
