A member asked:

How early can you see a tubal on ultrasound?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

About 4.5 weeks: A transvaginal ultrasound is the most dependable way to show where a pregnancy is. A pregnancy in the uterus is visible 6 weeks after the last menstrual period. An ectopic pregnancy is likely if there are no signs of an embryo or fetus in the uterus but HCG levels are elevated or rising.
