What are symptoms of an Ectopic pregnancy?
The most obvious signs of an ectopic pregnancy are pelvic or abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. If you have these symptoms, see your health professional immediately. Ectopic pregnancies can be difficult to identify because they usually cause normal early pregnancy symptoms such as a missed menstrual period, fatigue, breast tenderness, and nausea. A health professional can detect an early ectopic pregnancy with a series of blood tests for pregnancy hormone (hCG) levels, an ultrasound , or both.
