Much more rarely,\u00A0ectopic pregnancies implant in the ovary, abdomen or cervix.\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In the early stages, an ectopic pregnancy may not have any symptoms outside of typical pregnancy symptoms. Brown spotting is possible in early pregnancy, although it does not mean that you have an ectopic pregnancy. You may also have pain in your lower abdomen that might be just be on one side. A ruptured tubal pregnancy may have more &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/ruptured-ectopic-pregnancy-symptoms-and-signs-2371253&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;severe symptoms&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, such as fainting or feeling faint, intense pressure in the rectum, low blood pressure, pain in the shoulder area or severe, sharp and sudden pain in the lower abdomen.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ectopic pregnancy diagnosis may include &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/tubal-pregnancy-and-ectopic-hcg-levels-2371279&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;hCG blood tests&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/ultrasound-showed-no-gestational-sac-2371356&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ultrasound&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, pelvic examination or a combination of the above.
