How long does an ectopic pregnancy last?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 04/06/2022

An ectopic pregnancy does not go beyond the first trimester. Normally, patients begin to bleed and have severe discomfort in the 6th or 7th week of gestation, which causes them to miscarry or leads them to go to the hospital for a diagnosis. As soon as the extrauterine pregnancy is confirmed, it must be eliminated with chemotherapeutic drugs or surgery.
