Im around 6 weeks and having some pain on one side, it got me a bit scared after reading about ectopic. My scan is in 2 days. Can they actually see it this early? a little anxious tbh.
My gynac explained that around 6 weeks they usually combine a scan with blood hCG to see if things are in the right place. Sometimes it needs a repeat scan to be sure. Definitely something only the doctor can confirm, not a home guess.
I've been through a loss so I really feel for anyone worried about this. Please don't sit at home wondering, get the scan and hCG done as your doctor advises. Early checking is so important, sending you strength.
Yes it often gets picked up around then on a scan with the hCG levels. I went through an ectopic and the doctors caught it early because I went in for sharp pain. If you have severe one sided pain or bleeding, please go to your doctor right away, do not wait.
