I am also worried about this. Can it be detected purely by blood tests or is an ultrasound absolutely necessary? I have my first scan next week and I'm very nervous.
Beta, usually doctors can see it in an early scan around the 6th or 7th week. If you have any sharp pain on one side or bleeding, please go to the hospital immediately. Don't worry, just be careful.
When I was staying with my parents, my mother insisted on getting the first scan done by the 6th week itself. Doctors can easily detect it around that time through a transvaginal ultrasound. It's always safe to get checked early.
Beta, this is a serious medical thing that only doctors can find through scans around 5 to 6 weeks. No home remedy can help here. If you feel severe lower back or belly pain, go to your doctor right away.
It can be detected as early as 5-6 weeks with an early scan and beta hCG blood tests. Don't wait around if you have severe cramps or spotting. Just visit your nearest clinic and get a quick scan done, it is the safest way.
I was so scared of this during my early weeks and kept researching symptoms. My doctor did an early scan at 6 weeks to confirm the pregnancy is in the uterus. Did anyone else get their first scan done that early?
