A member asked:

Pain in lower back and abdomen. about 4 weeks pregnant. no sign of pregnancy in uterus. er doctor thinks possible ectopic? could i just be to early?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes to both: It might be ectopic, or it might be early, at this point you can't be sure. See your OB asap for further evaluation and advice; ectopic pregnancies can be very dangerous.

Dr Villaplana and another doctor agreed

Uterine ectopic pregnancy is where it is in the uterus but not the uterine cavity. Why isn't it viable? Just a little more surgery at birth is needed.
