Ectopic Pregnancy

One of my friends told me that I could be having an ectopic pregnancy. At 11DPo I got a faint BFP. by 12 or 13DPO no line at all but had the nauseau and the sore bb's.

I called the dr and they are bringing me in on Friday for a blood test.

Should I be worried?

Are you haveing any kind of cramps at all? The symptoms of an ectopic are crampy pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen on one side initially though the pain could radiate thoughout the abdomen.pain may be worse when straining of bowels or coughing. than the pain becomes sharp and steady.

Are you having any spotting or bleeding? brown vaginal spotting or light bleeding which may precede pain by several days or weeks. sometimes there is no bleeding unless the turb ruptures.

I got that information out of the book what to expect when your expecting. I hope that helped a little. Good luck and keep us up to date!!!!!

When I thought I may be pg yesterday morning, I asked doctor about ectopic and she said that I would be in a lot of pain. So I'm sure that is not it. Hoping for some high temps for you again tomorrow morning!!!

Angela,

I have periods of cramps and nauseau. Just today I got sharp pains on the right side and yesterday it felt like my tummy was being pulled. When I lifted a box this was particularly noticeable. All of this is in my lower abdomen. No spotting or bleeding. I hope the dr knows what he is doing. I would think by now 16 DPO I would either feel VERY pregnant or not (rather than wavering symptoms) and my test would be Positive (but I've seen on this board that some women wait 15 or more dys before getting a positive.

I will keep everyone posted.

Lynn,

Thanks for following me around the board along with Angela! It's good to know I've got some support. It seems we are on the same wave length. Will keep you posted on the temps. Today I felt the worse so far, nauseaus, tired, crampy.. but it passed around 5pm.

I'll let you know what happens after the dr's appt friday at 3pm.
