When to contact doctor about being pregnant after ectopic

Hi ladies

When should you contact your doctor about being pregnant evan if your not due for another 3 days but Had positives ?

Pretty sure they say to so they can do bloods and a early a early scan ?

I had a ectopic in December x

Dear Jodie Sabina,

Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy,

Usually doctors carry out an internal transvaginal scan at around six weeks with subsequent pregnancies after an ectopic. This is because there is a reasonable chance of seeing an embryo around this six week mark.

We advise contacting your local EPU, reminding them of your ectopic pregnancy and booking an appointment. If you are unable to self refer, contact your GP who will be able to do this for you.

Whilst I do not wish to alarm you, I sadly have to remind you that if you experience any unusual bleeding, abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain, bladder or bowel problems or feel dizzy and unwell to seek urgent medical advice.

Sending much love and positive thoughts,

Karen x
