So I was back in the Emergency department again yesterday
I was feeling sick and premenstrual at work yesterday, about a week too early for my period. I got some tests from the chemist and did a couple in the toilets - low and behold - a bfp on two tests BUT I started feeling really crampy on one side just like my last pregnancy which was an ectopic. It was truly a shock because I thought that I knew when I ovulate and that the timing had been all out in July for any chance of pregnancy - obviously I do not know when I ovulate! I had blood tests at ED to confirm bfp and and I am going back to hospital first thing on Monday morning to have bloods done again to check that hcg levels are rising appropriately. If they are not it would be an indicator of an ectopic. Its too early to check with a scan. I don't have a good feeling though, its a dull ache on one side that can get to be quite a stabby pain - its the same side that I had the ectopic last time. I don't really know how I'm feeling. Scared, alternating with numb I guess.

I have had pains to the side with this pregnancy and also wondered if it was an ectocpic pregnancy but all was fine. Its hard, I know, your mind goes all over place (well mine did anyway) but just hang in there. Good luck for the bloods, I hope they are doing what they are suppose to do ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I still have pains on my right hand side with this pregnancy but it is from a pregnancy cyst caused by the left over follicle that baby was made from. I had an early scan to check for ectopic but that's what they found instead.
I really hope you get some good news, and try not to worry (too much, impossible not to worry) -------------

Hi ladies! Thank you so much for all your kind words of support, I have really appreciated them.
When I was at ED on Fri they told me to come back before Monday if I experienced any faintness or nausea. I felt REALLY nauseous last night so after tossing and turning I woke up DH and we went back to ED at 4am. Well because I wasn't high risk I didn't get seen by a doc till 8am, and my appointment this morning was actually for 8.30am anyway! Still crampy on one side but interestingly it didn't hurt to much when I had the internal examination. The gyne said hopefully it is just a bit of tender scar tissue from my ectopic. The BEST news is that my hCG levels have increased from 300 on Friday to 970 today. The gyne (who is an awesome lady BTW) said it would be quite unusual to see a rise like that with an ectopic. She did warn me not to get my hopes up too high though until I have a scan. I have another blood test on Wed and if it is up over 1500 I will have a scan to see if the embryo hit the right spot. So that is a lovely glimmer of hope for me and DH. We sooo want to be a mummy and daddy! |

Hope - that's wonderful news!!
With this pregnancy, I spent my first trimester at times bent double, others hardly able to walk, bleeding on and off, and in and out of my OB's office, but the kid is doing fine. Sometimes our bodies do terribly frightening things to us and it's horrible. I remember doing my first emergency scan and the nurse telling me, very gently, that they weren't expecting to see a heartbeat. There was a lot of laughter in the clinic that day when we saw No.9's heart going 19 to the dozen. All the best!!! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Hi guys, I went in for more bloods this morning before work and then at 12.30pm I got a call from the hospital saying my hCG was over 2000 and I had to go to ED for an emergency scan.
I went straight there - but had to wait a few hours - excruciating!! I had the scan and .... its in the right spot!! 
When I found out I just burst into tears, I was so relieved and DH looked pretty relieved too! Had a yummy celebratory dinner and a non-alcoholic toast! Apparently the pain I was feeling was from the corpus luteum cyst on my left ovary. It was really sore when the scan technician pressed on it! Am really happy of course but still apprehensive. Am having groin pain tonight - anyone experienced anything like that this early on?? |

Waaahoooo!!!!
You are probably getting the stretching pains that lots of people are asking about at the moment. It can happen on and off for the next few weeks and is nothing to worry about. I'm so glad you got the answer you were hoping for. ------------- |

Yay, thanks ladies!
I'm still petrified, but hopeful now! Oh and I forgot to mention - I ovulated and conceived on the same side that I had my ectopic - so good to know the tubes are all good

That's great news Hope, corpus loteum is what i have on my right ovary. It gets better after the first trimester but mine is still sore now and again. Ask them to check it again for you at the later scans if you are still sore. They checked both my ovaries for me yesterday just to be sure.
Yeah the groin pain sounds like ligaments stretching, you might get some feelings like your period is about to start as well and those are normal too. -------------
