How To Confirm If The Pregnancy Is Normal Or Ectopic At 5th Week?

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and today went for a scan but nothing showed up. They did a urine test which was negative & blood tests but they were positive. I have had an ectopic pregnancy before. Is there any chance this could still be a normal pregnancy or do you think it's likely to be ectopic?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
The chances of ectopic pregnancy are more with previous history of ectopic pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy is clearly seen in scan.
so please do not worry!
This time your pregnancy is normal.
Repeat ultrasonography after two week is beneficial for you.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr. Richa
