It is when the pregnancy happens in the tube. My parents made sure I got an early ultrasound to confirm the baby was in the right place.

Yes it can, but don't rely only on symptoms. Just buy a cheap urine test kit from the local chemist first before going for expensive hospital blood tests.

Because of my earlier complications, my doctor was very strict about my hydration. She suggested home remedies like ginger, but told me to contact her immediately if the vomiting became too severe, so keep your doctor informed.

I used to worry so much about the radiation and heat affecting the baby when I did this! Please put a very thick cushion or a laptop table in between, and don't keep it directly on your lap. It is better to be extra safe and not take any chances.

The most reliable time is at least a day or two after your missed period. Testing too early can give false negatives, so waiting is always best. Of course, a blood test prescribed by your doctor is the most accurate way.
