Ectopic pregnancy is a condition in which an embryo developed in the fallopian tubes rather than the uterus. In an ectopic pregnancy, the symptoms start to arise between 6 to 8 weeks after the previous menstrual cycle or date of the period. The process of treatment for ectopic pregnancy may be different according to the causes. If you have symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy then do not be careless and visit a doctor soon.
