Question about Ectopic Pregnancy

Well, I'm on 2DPO and I know it's WAY too early for implantation in the uterus. My question is about ectopic pregnancy. I'm having some sharp pains "O" like on my right side and AF like cramps. Basically, my O pain hasn't gone away since befored I Oed. I O'ed on my right side this month.

My question is, can you have implantation of an ectopic pregnancy earlier than normal implantation. Has anyone had an ectopic pregnancy or any experience with someone that had one.

What does it feel like?

TIA

I don't know that an ectopic actually "implants", more that it doesn't make it quite to the uterus and grows in the fallopian tubes. With my last pg, I was having SEVERE pulling pain, and I was scared of ectopic. My OB assured me I would be in so much pain that I would not be able to even talk, but did an US anyways. As severe as it was, i was obviously still able to function and talk. From what I understand, minor pain or discomfort does not signal an ectopic pg.

Good luck-I am 3 DPO and have been experiencing sharp pains on the side I O'd on too!
