With the development of medical technology, more and more difficult and complicated diseases have been solved by people. For many infertile couples, they no longer need to be afraid and can go to the hospital for in vitro fertilization, giving themselves the opportunity to become parents. However, undergoing in vitro fertilization is not simple and there may be cases of ectopic pregnancy. So, how long can ectopic pregnancy be detected after embryo transfer?
Generally, two to three weeks after completing IVF, women need to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination to see if the gestational sac is developing in the uterus. If the gestational sac cannot be seen on the ultrasound, it indicates that they have ectopic pregnancy and need to be treated early to avoid affecting the health of the female fallopian tubes. In fact, when there are lesions in the female fallopian tubes and pelvic cavity, it can cause blockage of the fallopian tube lumen, resulting in the inability of the embryo to reach the uterine cavity for implantation.
Women who experience ectopic pregnancy after transplantation may experience abdominal pain, amenorrhea, and other symptoms. Women experience lower abdominal pain and a sensation of defecation, accompanied by cold sweat, which may be caused by various factors such as fallopian tube dilation, rupture, and blood stimulation of the peritoneum. Moreover, vaginal bleeding is also a unique symptom of ectopic pregnancy in women. If a woman has an ectopic pregnancy, when vaginal bleeding occurs, the blood appears dark brown and the amount is relatively small, generally not exceeding the menstrual flow.
Some women with ectopic pregnancy may experience a decrease in blood volume and severe abdominal pain due to acute intra-abdominal bleeding. Mild cases may include fainting, nausea and vomiting, while severe cases may result in shock. So when women discover that they have an ectopic pregnancy, they should seek timely treatment. Hysterosalpingostomy can be performed to remove the embryo and ensure the normal function of the female fallopian tubes.
