Hello. : Hello. Signs for an ectopic pregnancy can include pain or cramping in the lower abdomen, mild vaginal bleeding, pain with urination, pain with bowel movements or pain in the area of the ovary. These initial symptoms can present within the 5th to 8th week of pregnancy. With a later ectopic pregnancy, there can be heavy bleeding and pain. About half of women who have bleeding in the first trimester (not implantation) may miscarry. I recommend that you let your obstetrician know about this. Of course, if you experience hemorrhaging or severe abdominal pain, it is imperative to get emergency care. Take care.
