Pregnancy of unknown location

A positive pregnancy test with nothing yet visible on ultrasound.

Pregnancy after treatment

PUL is a stage of investigation, not a diagnosis. Serial hCG measurements and repeat scans determine whether it is an early intrauterine pregnancy, a failing pregnancy or an ectopic. Attend every follow-up appointment, even if you feel well.

Also known as: PUL, nothing seen on scan
