One can detect ectopic pregnancy as early as 4th week post conceiving. You are recommended to detect it as early as possible to avoid complications which can be life threatening at later stages.

Doctor, usually my wife menstrual cycle is between 30 to 35 days. Her last period was on 25th September. Still today, 9th November, her period has not come. Today is her 46th day. Upon checking UPT, we could see a light pink second line within 5 minutes of the test. She is also suffering from mild white discharge. Please let me know if this is a sign of pregnancy?
