Would MMC scan have detected ectopic? Really worried

I had a MMC at the 12 week scan, baby stopped developing at 7 weeks. I am now pregnant again (only detected today at 12dpo). I get ovulation pain every month on the left side, and with my last pregnancy and now this one I have almost constant pain by my left ovary.

When I had the mmc scan she couldn't find the baby to begin with, and asked if I had pain in my shoulder which I know suggests ectopic. She then found baby burrowed quite far over to the left side where I have the pain.

Now I'm pregnant again and have this pain I'm worried it is an ectopic, my question is would the last scan have picked up if it were? I had a D&C would it have been something different if ectopic?

Thank you!

Sorry for your mmc OP
There is no way your last would have been an ectopic if it was managed with a d&c which is used to remove tissue from your uterus not outside of that.

Thank you @ohnoh I tried to Google it but couldn't find a definite answer, so thanks again :)
