When its still early, ectopic pregnancies present exactly as other pregnancies. The first sign that something may be wrong is the appearance of pain.
Here is some info from the following site: http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_newborn/pregnancy/ectopic.html
Pain is usually the first red flag. You might feel pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases, even your shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). Most women describe the pain as sharp and stabbing. It may concentrate on one side of the pelvis, and it may come and go or vary in intensity.
Any of the following additional symptoms can suggest an ectopic pregnancy:
* vaginal spotting or bleeding
* dizziness or fainting (caused by blood loss)
* low blood pressure (also caused by blood loss)
* lower back pain
My advice to you is take a pregnancy test. If it is positive then schedule an exam with your OBGYN to determine whether the pregnancy is ectopic.
You still might want to discuss your irregular cycle with your OBGYN, especially if the tubal ligation was recent.
An early ectopic pregnancy often feels like a normal pregnancy. A woman with an ectopic pregnancy may experience common signs of early pregnancy, such as:
A missed menstrual period.
Tender breasts.
Fatigue.
Nausea.
Increased urination.
As an ectopic pregnancy progresses, however, other symptoms develop, including:
Abdominal or pelvic pain, usually 6 to 8 weeks after a missed period.2 Pain may get worse with movement or straining. It may occur sharply on one side at first and then spread throughout the pelvic region.
Vaginal bleeding that may be light or heavy.
Pain with intercourse or during a pelvic exam.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting (syncope) caused by internal bleeding.
Signs of shock.
Shoulder pain caused by bleeding into the abdomen under the diaphragm. The bleeding irritates the diaphragm and is experienced as shoulder pain.
well the other people had good symptoms listed, however i have had an ectopic pregnancy and did not even know it until my fallopian tube burst. I didn’t really have any signs of pregnancy, and yes i still was having my period, as well. I started cramping really bad, and the pain was intolerable so i went to the ER. They gave me a pregnancy test which to my shock was positive, and then an ultrasound, and then to the OR. I’m telling you this, not to scare you, but to make you aware. Ectopics are serious, women have died from not getting proper and prompt treatment. Oh, and just to let you know, it’s not that i was naive or uneducated about symptoms of pregnancy; i am a nurse. So take a home test, if it’s positive and you’re experiencing symptoms, go to the ER.
