Usually, a scan at 5 or 6 weeks can confirm the baby's position. If you have any unusual pain, do discuss it with your gynac immediately.

I think an early transvaginal scan can detect it around 5 to 6 weeks. Please consult your doctor if you are having any sharp pain or bleeding.

For serious concerns like ectopic pregnancy, home tips won't help at all. An ultrasound can detect it by 5-6 weeks, so please consult your doctor immediately.

An early scan around 6 weeks is very important to rule this out, especially with irregular periods. Always consult your gynac if you suspect anything.
