That is variable, but to make a definitive diagnosis, you have to be able to see it in the tube on U/S, and that usually cannot be done until 4-6 weeks along. Some ectopics will resolve on their own without therapy, but for those that do not, the time of rupture is highly variable, from 4-12 weeks.
