Ectopic pregnancy- how far along were you when symptoms started?

Question

I'm a bit worried I have an ectopic pregnancy. I have endometriosis and last laparoscopy my doctor said my left tube was dodgy and might need a stint. I'm now 6 weeks and have had some light cramping on the left side. I'm headed in for a scan next Monday to check the baby's location and my hcg levels look good.
Any information about what symptoms to look out for and how soon to expect symptoms would be greatly appreciated. Fingers are crossed for a healthy baby!

Answer

I had my right tube tied after I had my daughter because I was bleeding out from it during my c sec so this time I got pregnant and dr was really afraid of me having an ectopic pregnancy and my hcg was going up but very very slow. They went from like 7 to 21 then to 300.. throughout weeks. So I started reading and was told by a few people that have had ectopic pregnancies that when you start with the pain it becomes an excruciating pain where you have to go to the ER it's so bad. Also you can go along with not having symptoms until 12-14wks but as long as your dr is ontop of it and checking your hcg and doing a scan as soon as baby is visible you should be fine. If it's an ectopic hcg still goes up but doesn't go up as significant as with abnormal pregnancy. The cramping could also you stressing yourself out. I did that to myself. When I'd stop thinking about it I'd feel fine but as soon as I'd start thinking.. do I have cramps? I'd get cramps. The mind is very dangerous and can cause us to feel things that aren't really there.

Answer

I had an ectopic in March 2017 and lost my right tube. I spotted from the beginning of getting my bfp @ 5 weeks. Spotting eventually turned into heavy red bleeding that was on and off.  I felt a lot of pressure in my pelvic area and sharp pains on my right side. I also had exteremely low HCG levels and progresterone that were rising slowly. Ultrasound at 6 weeks confirmed that mine was ectopic. 
Prayers that you have a safe and healthy pregnancy. 💚

Answer

I had some pain on my left side and thought it was ectopic (pain was pretty bad) and it ended up just being a corpus luteum cyst and baby was intrauterine, so it could be that!

Answer

Single sided pain. That's what my SIL experienced and a lot of bleeding

Answer

I really didn't have a ton of pain. I had quite a bit of on and off spotting/bleeding and my hcg levels weren't doubling...
