Signs and Symptoms

Ectopic pregnancy can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms often mirror those of a normal early pregnancy. These can include missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, vomiting, or frequent urination.

The first warning signs of an ectopic pregnancy are often pain or vaginal bleeding. You might feel pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases, even your shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). Most women describe the pain as sharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on one side of the pelvis and come and go or vary in intensity.

Any of the following additional symptoms can also suggest an ectopic pregnancy:

    * vaginal spotting
    * dizziness or fainting (caused by blood loss)
    * low blood pressure (also caused by blood loss)
    * lower back pain

usually by 8 weeks they can at least see the sac and fetal pole, plus a heartbeat. maybe you are not as far along as you thought. and a ectopic pregnancy you would have a lot of pain if you were 10 weeks, they check your tubes right away to rule out it out. I hope everything works out for you.

Well normally with an Ectopic you will start showing on one side at 6-8 weeks... Have they not checked your tubes?
