Could she have an ectopic pregnancy?

The patient may not have missed a period
Could present without vaginal bleeding
Sometimes presents with vague gastrointestinal symptoms
Should be considered in all women of reproductive age who present with abdominal/pelvic pain
Abdominal palpation may not reveal tenderness despite a significant haemoperitoneum
Hypotension/hypovolaemic shock is a late event; tachycardia is a concerning clinical finding
An ectopic pregnancy may be present despite a negative pelvic ultrasound
A negative urinary pregnancy test virtually excludes an ectopic, or any other pregnancy
