A member asked:

If you had a ectopic pregnancy could you feel it where your legs meet your hips if you were skinny and had little muscle ?

Unusual but possible: Pelvic/abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding are most common symptoms. These are rarely present with early ectopic though, so if there's reason for concern about ectopic consult your doctor, do not rely on symptoms.

Nope.: Ectopic pregnancy is one of the few medical conditions where symptoms and even physical examination cannot provide an accurate/timely diagnosis. Your gynecologist will have to rely on high quality transvaginal ultrasound and serial beta human chorionic gonadotrophin levels to reach this diagnosis.
