[quote=Anonymous]Mine was discovered at a routine ultrasound. Had absolutely no symptoms. In retrospect, I had some spotting  around 4 weeks, but at the time no one thought it was a big deal. There was never even a mention of ectopic until I went for my first ultrasound and they they told me to go immediately to the ER. Treated with methotrexate and no rupture and no lost tubes. Based on the beta results in the hospital, they think it was probably resolving naturally, but of course they treated it anyway).

2nd pregnancy, I had spotting at around week 6 and the ob's front office staff blew me off even after I told them about the history of ectopic. I became totally paranoid and ended up in the ER where an ultrasound confirmed a normal pregnancy.

3rd pregnancy, went in for a blood test to confirm at 6 weeks and the midwife looked at my chart and made them do an ultrasound for peace of mind. It confirmed that it wasn't ectopic, but they couldn't find a heartbeat so it was a nervous week for me until they did a followup and all was fine. [/quote]
