Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a few questions regarding ectopic pregnancy.

1) How long does a fertilized egg stuck and implant itself in a tube?

2) I ovulated on day 15 and felt a sharp pain in the right side (for a moment) on day 24 (8 days post ovulation), is it an ectopic symptom?

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It depends on your period length and regularity that when and how the system will work. If you have regular periods then 14 days before menses you have ovulation, and if fertilization occurs on the ninth day, then you can have implantation at right or wrong place. If one-sided lower abdominal pain occurs after unprotected sex at the end of third or fourth weeks post period with or without bleeding, then it should be reported that you need urgent beta hCG. If positive, then should repeat beta hCG after 48 hours to check its progression to finalize the diagnosis if the pain is not severe. If after a positive pregnancy test for the pain have a transvaginal scan by expertise hands, immediate intervention. Have complete treatment of any health issue you have. Practice daily walk, yoga, and exercise. Have recreational activities and quit recreational drugs. You need to consult for detailed evaluation.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
