Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) Ultrasound scan is required to test if pregnancy is in the uterus or outside uterus.

2) Based on the location of the pregnancy, termination can be advised.

3) Termination pills cannot be given in case of ectopic preganncy as it could be life threatening.

4) Please get ultrasound scan and send me the report so that I can suggest further.
