hi this is from the mayo clinic. at first an ectopic pregnancy might not cause any signs or symptoms. in other cases early signs and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy might be the same as those of any pregnancy — a missed period breast tenderness and nausea. if you take a pregnancy test the result will be positive. still an ectopic pregnancy can't continue as normal. abdominal or pelvic pain and light vaginal bleeding are often the first warning signs of an ectopic pregnancy. if blood leaks from the fallopian tube it's also possible to feel shoulder pain or an urge to have a bowel movement — depending on where the blood pools or which nerves are irritated. heavy vaginal bleeding is unlikely unless the ectopic pregnancy occurs in the cervix. if the fallopian tube ruptures heavy bleeding inside the abdomen is likely — followed by lightheadedness fainting and shock. when to see a doctor seek emergency medical help if you experience any signs or symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy including: severe abdominal or pelvic pain accompanied by vaginal bleeding extreme lightheadedness or fainting hope it helps you. good luck
will a home pregnancy test detect your pregnancy if it's an ectopic pregnancy? . i have symptoms of ectopic pregnancy though i don't think i'm pregnant anyway but i don't want to have to go to a doctor just to find out. can i take a home test and it show up pregnant?
