Ectopic?

Question

I am 5 weeks today and having a constant discomfort on my left side. It's been there for hours now. I am so scared of having an ectopic pregnancy. Anyone else have this happen and everything be okay?? No cramps or bleeding just this nagging pain.

Answer

Yep. Turns out I had 3 corpus luteum cysts on my ovary (I had released 3 eggs due to clomid). They were gone by my scan at 13 weeks and the pain stopped around 7 weeks. It's quite common on the side you've ovulated from when pregnancy occurs as the progesterone sticks around so the corpus luteum doesn't dissolve as they would in a non pregnancy cycle. My RE also told me ectopic pain "normally" doesn't start until about 7 weeks (of course there's exceptions to everything)
