Is there a case if you go to a obgyn for abnormal periods and spotting and pain in your overy along with other sympotoms and they do not pregnacy test

It is hard to know whether the failure to diagnose the ectopic pregnancy was negligent. To investigate the issue further, an attorney will need to secure your medical records and look at the ultrasound images. Even if the ultrasound images do not show the pregnancy, you would expect them to measure your HCG levels to determine if you were pregnant, because an Ectopic Pregnancy is a life-threatening condition if it ruptures.  If the incident impacted your ability to have children, you probably have a medical malpractice case that is worth investigating.  You should contact a local medical malpractice attorney (one in your state).  They take these cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are usually free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research medical malpractice attorneys.  Then, visit each attorney's website and look for a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.  Below are some articles you may find helpful.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.
