Individualizing Management of Pregnancy of Unknown Location and Uncertain Prognosis

Pregnancy of unknown location is a temporary physiologic state of early pregnancy with a positive but no ultrasound findings of pregnancy, while pregnancy of uncertain prognosis is an early intrauterine pregnancy without cardiac activity. A broad differential and swift diagnosis are important to limit the morbidity and mortality associated with ectopic pregnancy. Knowledge of available management options along with patient-centered approaches is important to improve clinical provision of care, although this may be limited by state and institutional policies.
