[quote=Anonymous]So if a lot of ectopic pregnancies don't have symptoms before a rupture-- and if most OBs don't do ultrasounds (where they'd notice an ectopic) until at least 8 weeks-- and if many ectopic pregnancies cause ruptures before 8 weeks-- how are you supposed to avoid surgery and losing a fallopian tube and maybe even worse? Seems pretty risky to me to wait 'til 8+ weeks to check... sure, ectopics aren't that common, but they're not super-rare either, and tubal ruptures are pretty serious. Or am I wrong about one or more of these things? If you had an ectopic pregnancy, when and how was it found? Were there symptoms beforehand? If it ruptured, when did it rupture? (And are there doctors who'll do ultrasounds before 8 weeks if you don't have risk factors? Who?)[/quote]
