Having an ultrasound performed will also determine if your pregnancy is in your uterus or not. If your pregnancy is located outside your uterus, this is called an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is life threatening for you and may result in serious complications or death if not addressed right away. You will need immediate care in an emergency room if you have an ectopic pregnancy. It is not safe to take the abortion pill if you have an ectopic pregnancy.
