Ectopic??

Question

So before I was pregnant I had this sharp pain that would go through my lower left abdomen/ovary. And I thought I had a cyst on my ovary. This happened for about 2
Months but now I just found out I'm expecting and it almost seems worse! I'm crampy with a a backache as well. Does anyone know if this could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy? I'm not trying to be paranoid I just know how dangerous they can be! I'm 4 weeks tomorrow.

Answer

I know this is old, but I’m having the same thing at 5w1d, also felt similar pains last time I ovulated. Any update on if you had a successful pregnancy or what your dr thought it was??

Answer

Lower abdominal pain, back pain which tends to be dull and achey, shoulder tip pain or between the shoulderblades, shortness of breath, pale, clammy, diarrhea and nausea/sickness are signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. If your experiencing shoulder tip pain, shortness of breath and severe tummy/back pain its important you get to the nearest hospital urgently. A ambulance will come out to you if required for this. If in doubt get checked out its what i always tell my patients because you cant mess around when it comes to ectopic or suspected. Hope all is ok and get yourself checked always better to be safe and walking away thinking im over reacting then sorry hun.

Hi,
Did you ever figure out what this is? I'm getting this as well. Like you, ive had it the past few months (inside miscarriage actually). But getting it again now that I'm newly pregnant. I'm sure you've had your baby by now. But just wondering if they figured out what was causing the pain. I'm concerned about an ectopic, but, like you, this is not a new pain.

Answer

I've had 2 ectopics one treated with meds the other ruptured and both completely different. I would guess cysts if it was ongoing before you got pregnant but definitely get bloods done to risky for your health not to be careful

Answer

I had an ectopic and if it's been 2 monthsand you still have the same pain, I highly doubt you have an ectopic.  I was bleeding within 1 week of ovulation. I would guess it's your cyst.

Answer

My signs of an ectopic pregnancy was the horrible cramping and bleeding for over 21 days, I thought it was a long period but then my breasts started hurting, went to the doctor when I was doubled over in pain and next thing I know I'm in hospital having scans done and loads of blood taken. 
I didn't need an operation which I'm thankful for, as the nurses kept a close eye on me. But I had no shoulder tip pain, or any other symptom apart from a period which carried on and turned into an old blood colour & the cramping which was the worst pain I had ever been in, I had never cried so much over pain. 
And I'm now 17 weeks pregnant and baby is all good and healthy!

Maybe go to your doctor? Tell them you're experiencing some awful cramping, and the sharp pains and that you're 4 weeks pregnant. 
They may transfer you to have an early scan done so you don't have to wait until 12 weeks! 
Won't be much to see at 4-6 weeks but it may put you at ease. 
I was transferred because of the ectopic I had previously. Hope this helps

Answer

It is a sign of ep. You should try to get blood work and see if your hcg levels are doubling. Otherwise, if the pain gets super intense go to the er. You're too early to show anything on us, so the only way you will know is if your hcg doesn't double. Hopefully it's not, but I've had 3 and that's how I knew right away was the pain :/
