A member asked:
My friend would like to know is an ultrasound being performed or a blood test both equally effective in proving pregnancy? or blood test is best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: to not see a very early pregnancy or an ectopic pregnancy on ultrasound. Blood or urine pregnancy test would be more sensitive.
