======First trimester screen======
*PAPP-A.
*Nuchal translucency.

*Beta-hCG.
*Estriol.
======Diagnostic tests======
*Chorionic villus sampling (10-12 weeks???).
*Amniocentesis (15-16 weeks+).
=====Ectopic pregnancy=====
*[[Chorionic villi]] have to be identified (in some location, e.g. [[Fallopian tube]]) to Dx a pregnancy.
