When do ectopic signs start?

Question

Hi ladies! Right now I'm only 5 weeks and 4 days with my first pregnancy. My husband and I were scheduled to start IVF prep this month and then I never got my period! I have a right occluded falopian tube and my husband has some issues so that's why IVF was recommended. Anyway, since two days before my missed period I've been having cramping and I know that's totally normal. However, over the last two days it's been more prominent on the right side and more painful. No bleeding but it's a little concerning for sure! I'm worried the embryo is growing in my right tube :( Am I just being paranoid? I'm doing my best to chill out and not think about it but my worry grows with every twinge of bad pain. I usually have REALLY bad period cramping every month so maybe this is normal?

hey girlie, this might be a long post, but i hope it helps...i had an ectopic pregnancy in may. i didn't have signs till the end of week 7. i was cramping so bad i literally could not stand up. in the next 24 hours i was crawling & my husband had to carry me to the hospital. my tube had ruptured & i had no external bleeding. it felt like there was a lot of pressure down there like a bladder infection or something. i had no signs beforehand of cramping on one side or the other. fast forward to now...i'm 11 weeks this week! around week 5 i was hurting on my one ovary that i have left. i was so scared it was another ectopic. i went in for my ultrasound at week 6 convinced i was not leaving there with a baby. turns out some women get a cyst that forms to "protect" your ovary & that's what i have. it feels like it is on your ovary & it still kinda hurts to this day. it is suppose to deflate by week 13 i believe. i hope that is the case with you ❤️ when is your first ultrasound? & when they did my ultrasound at 6 weeks, you could clearly see the cyst. hope this helps 😘

I started to feel pain about than but it would come and go and was not that bad. It was not tell about 8 weeks that it got bad.  It was 4 more weeks tell I had to have my tube removed because the other treatment was not working.  It the pain makes it hard to stand call your doctor. Doesn't hurt to get checked but they may not see anything. For me they could not see anything.
