"If you arrive in the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain, you'll likely be given a urine pregnancy test. Although these tests aren't sophisticated, they are fast - and speed can be crucial in treating ectopic pregnancy."Originally posted by shinta:hmm this got me thinkin.. how would ppl noe if they got this ectopic pregnancy thing?

If got pain of the severe kind and got bleeding, better go and check with the doctor

Yes. u need to go thru tests to check. sometimes doctors also find it hard to check, but most of the time, they are possible to find out when the pregnant women do their regular checking.Originally posted by shinta:hmm this got me thinkin.. how would ppl noe if they got this ectopic pregnancy thing?

the most accurate way to test it is thru blood tests. Sad to say, from what i've learnt now, there is no way to prevent it and there is a certain percentage of recurrence if you had it once.Originally posted by shinta:hmm this got me thinkin.. how would ppl noe if they got this ectopic pregnancy thing?
