Risks and complications of IVF treatmentWhat are the signs and symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?
The presentation of ectopic pregnancy varies from that of an acute abdominal pain and shock to that of normal symptoms of pregnancy. Most patients present between the sixth and tenth weeks of pregnancy with lower abdominal pain, usually starting on one side. The pain then becomes severe and diffuses throughout the abdomen. There may or may not be vaginal bleeding or spotting. Shoulder tip pain may be felt with some ectopics due to the internal bleeding causing irritation of the diaphragm muscle. Many cases of ectopic pregnancy are diagnosed in the emergency room, when the woman may be admitted with severe one-sided pelvic pain and possibly dizziness and faintness due to rupture of the tube and internal bleeding.
