Dear LTQKVS, I am sorry I cannot provide a personalised answer for this as I was treated with methotrexate. Although I do not wish to upset you, I am guessing if you have been told its tissue, It is not going to look like a foetus and it is extremely unlikely that you would be able to see a heart. W...

Dear LTQKVS, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, This is a slightly difficult question to answer as we do not have access to your medical and scan results.
