The gold standard for diagnosing a heterotopic pregnancy is the transvaginal ultrasound. However, the sensitivity of the transvaginal ultrasound for diagnosing a heterotopic pregnancy has been found to range from 26.3% to 92.4%. [5] Therefore, both clinical symptoms and ultrasound imaging are used to make the diagnosis.

This can be caused by the formation of scar tissue due to one or more episodes of PID, and can lead to tubal blockage. Both of these increase the risk of the inability to get pregnant, [27] and 1% results in an ectopic pregnancy. [40] Chronic pelvic/abdominal pain develops post PID 40% of the time. [40]
The majority of people with uterine fibroids will have normal pregnancy outcomes. [12] In cases of intercurrent uterine fibroids in infertility, a fibroid is typically located in a submucosal position and it is thought that this location may interfere with the function of the lining and the ability of the embryo to implant.

Although hematometra can often be diagnosed based purely on the patient's history of amenorrhea and cyclic abdominal pain, as well as a palpable pelvic mass on examination, the diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound, which will show blood pooled in the uterus and an enlargement of the uterine cavity.
Examination, ultrasound, and pregnancy tests can be used to rule out false pregnancy. [1] False pregnancy has a prominent psychiatric component as well as physical manifestations of pregnancy. [2] It can be caused by trauma (either physical or mental), a chemical imbalance of hormones, [2] [3] and some medical conditions. [1]
When the endometrial mucous membrane is found outside of the uterus in places such as the ovaries, it causes chronic pelvic pain with intercourse and menstrual cycles. Endometriomas can produce a toxic environment by producing estrogen, cytokines, interleukins, and other inflammatory substances, that could damage healthy endometriomal tissue.
Ovarian pregnancy refers to an ectopic pregnancy that is located in the ovary. Typically the egg cell is not released or picked up at ovulation, but fertilized within the ovary where the pregnancy implants. [1] [2] [3] Such a pregnancy usually does not proceed past the first four weeks of pregnancy. [3]
