According to my dr. my uteurs grew I had an ectopic pregnancy of about 5-6 weeks. The dr. told me I had a healthy 5 week uterus. 2 days later my tube ruptered. I'd go get a second oppinion if I were you.
Most doctors will not see you before 8 weeks, so there may be some evidence by then.
Ectopic pregnancy An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg attaches somewhere other than in the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube (tubal pregnancy). Because an ectopic pregnancy can cause life-threatening complications, the pregnancy must be ended with medicine or surgery. When a fertilized egg attaches to a fallopian tube, it can be dangerous because the pregnancy can break into blood vessels. If a tubal pregnancy is not detected and treated early, the blood vessels may burst. This can be a life-threatening situation and requires emergency surgery. Pelvic inflammatory disease or tubal surgery increases the risk of having an ectopic or tubal pregnancy by creating scar tissue that may block the fallopian tube. Ectopic Pregnancy - Symptoms An early ectopic pregnancy often feels like a normal pregnancy. A woman with an ectopic pregnancy may experience common signs of early pregnancy, such as: A missed menstrual period. Tender breasts. Fatigue. Nausea. Increased urination. As an ectopic pregnancy progresses, however, other symptoms develop, including: Abdominal or pelvic pain, usually 6 to 8 weeks after a missed period.4 Pain may get worse with movement or straining. It may occur sharply on one side at first and then spread throughout the pelvic region. Vaginal bleeding that may be light or heavy. Pain with intercourse or during a pelvic exam. Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting (syncope) caused by internal bleeding. Signs of shock. Shoulder pain caused by bleeding into the abdomen under the diaphragm. The bleeding irritates the diaphragm and is experienced as shoulder pain. Source: http://www.webmd.com/baby/tc/ectopic-pregnancy-symptoms

I do not have specific information on exam dates for 9th annual exams in 2011. You may need to check with your school or board of education for the official exam schedule.
Right away. It's very important to begin getting educated about the pregnancy right away-excercise, nutrition,rest.... Get pre-natal vitamins right away. Also, a physical exam is important to help rule out difficulities such as ectopic pregnancy.
DefinitionAn ectopic pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that occurs outside the womb (uterus). The baby (fetus) cannot survive, and often does not develop at all in this type of pregnancy.Alternative NamesTubal pregnancy; Cervical pregnancy; Abdominal pregnancyCauses, incidence, and risk factorsAn ectopic pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy starts outside the womb (uterus). The most common site for an ectopic pregnancy is within one of the tubes through which the egg passes from the ovary to the uterus (fallopian tube). However, in rare cases, ectopic pregnancies can occur in the ovary, stomach area, or cervix.An ectopic pregnancy is often caused by a condition that blocks or slows the movement of a fertilized egg through the fallopian tube to the uterus. This may be caused by a physical blockage in the tube by hormonal factors and by other factors, such as smoking.Most cases of scarring are caused by:Past ectopic pregnancyPast infection in the fallopian tubesSurgery of the fallopian tubesUp to 50% of women who have ectopic pregnancies have had swelling (inflammation) of the fallopian tubes (salpingitis) or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).Some ectopic pregnancies can be due to:Birth defects of the fallopian tubesComplications of a ruptured appendixEndometriosisScarring caused by previous pelvic surgeryThe following may also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy:Age over 35Having had many sexual partnersIn vitro fertilizationIn a few cases, the cause is unknown.Sometimes, a woman will become pregnant after having her tubes tied (tubal sterilization). Ectopic pregnancies are more likely to occur 2 or more years after the procedure, rather than right after it. In the first year after sterilization, only about 6% of pregnancies will be ectopic, but most pregnancies that occur 2 - 3 years after tubal sterilization will be ectopic.Ectopic pregnancy is also more likely in women who have:Had surgery to reverse tubal sterilization in order to become pregnantHad an intrauterine device (IUD) and became pregnant (very unlikely when IUDs are in place)Ectopic pregnancies occur in 1 in every 40 to 1 in every 100 pregnancies.SymptomsAbnormal vaginal bleedingAmenorrheaBreast tendernessLow back painMild cramping on one side of the pelvisNauseaPain in the lower abdomen or pelvic areaIf the area of the abnormal pregnancy ruptures and bleeds, symptoms may get worse. They may include:Feeling faint or actually faintingIntense pressure in the rectumPain that is felt in the shoulder areaSevere, sharp, and sudden pain in the lower abdomenInternal bleeding due to a rupture may lead to low blood pressure and fainting in around 1 out of 10 women.Signs and testsThe health care provider will do a pelvic exam, which may show tenderness in the pelvic area.Tests that may be done include:CuldocentesisHematocritPregnancy testQuantitative HCG blood testSerum progesterone levelTransvaginal ultrasound or pregnancy ultrasoundWhite blood countA rise in quantitative HCG levels may help tell a normal (intrauterine) pregnancy from an ectopic pregnancy. Women with high levels should have a vaginal ultrasound to identify a normal pregnancy.Other tests may be used to confirm the diagnosis, such as:D and CLaparoscopyLaparotomyTreatmentEctopic pregnancies cannot continue to birth (term). The developing cells must be removed to save the mother's life.You will need emergency medical help if the area of the ectopic pregnancy breaks open (ruptures). Rupture can lead to shock, an emergency condition. Treatment for shock may include:Blood transfusionFluids given through a veinKeeping warmOxygenRaising the legsIf there is a rupture, surgery (laparotomy) is done to stop blood loss. This surgery is also done to:Confirm an ectopic pregnancyRemove the abnormal pregnancyRepair any tissue damageIn some cases, the doctor may have to remove the fallopian tube.A minilaparotomy and laparoscopy are the most common surgical treatments for an ectopic pregnancy that has not ruptured. If the doctor does not think a rupture will occur, you may be given a medicine called methotrexate and monitored. You may have blood tests and liver function tests.Expectations (prognosis)One-third of women who have had one ectopic pregnancy are later able to have a baby. A repeated ectopic pregnancy may occur in one-third of women. Some women do not become pregnant again.The likelihood of a successful pregnancy depends on:The woman's ageWhether she has already had childrenWhy the first ectopic pregnancy occurredThe rate of death due to an ectopic pregnancy in the United States has dropped in the last 30 years to less than 0.1%.ComplicationsThe most common complication is rupture with internal bleeding that leads to shock. Death from rupture is rare.Calling your health care providerIf you have symptoms of ectopic pregnancy (especially lower abdominal pain or abnormal vaginal bleeding), call your health care provider. You can have an ectopic pregnancy if you are able to get pregnant (fertile) and are sexually active, even if you use birth control.PreventionMost forms of ectopic pregnancy that occur outside the fallopian tubes are probably not preventable. However, a tubal pregnancy (the most common type of ectopic pregnancy) may be prevented in some cases by avoiding conditions that might scar the fallopian tubes.The following may reduce your risk:Avoiding risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) such as having many sexual partners, having sex without a condom, and getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)Early diagnosis and treatment of STDsEarly diagnosis and treatment of salpingitis and PIDStopping smokingReferencesHoury DE, Salhi BA.
