Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion as per your information the pregnancy appears to be ectopic.
No there is no chance for continuation of pregnancy other than uterus.
Because if the pregnancy continues there the tube ruptures and lead to life threatening complication for mother.
And there is no chance for survival of fetus.
So surgery needs to be done.And if needed that portion should be removed.
But nothing to worry.
As the tube which is normal on other side is enough for conceiving in future.
And the recurrence of ectopic in further pregnancy is 10-20%.
Planning the pregnancy after 4-6 months might be better rather than immediate pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
