anovulation but pregnancy symptoms?

Heyyy ladies,

I had an ectopic back in January resulting in removal in left tube. My partner and I have been trying again since April with no joy as yet. This month I really felt different. I’ve had random bouts of nausea, tiredness, bloating, and quite sudden changes in temperature (feeling flush). Needless to say I was gutted when I saw what looked like my period a day early… there may have been tears! But then as the day went on i released it was only the odd few drops and only when going to the toilet. I haven’t needed to use any sanitary products other than panty liners which never have anything on them other than the odd spot. I’ve haven’t had any normal period pains but have felt pain like a nagging or dull ache in my ovaries. Has anyone else had this? I called the doctor this morning who just seemed irritated that I had rang, she said its most likely my period and maybe I just hadn’t ovulated this month? That hasn’t even crossed my mind! But why the symptoms? And what’s this pain all about? I did a test yesterday which was negative. Has anyone else had anything like this?

Dear Jen,

I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,

Personally my periods were irregular and I bled differently following my ectopic pregnancy also.

Sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your symptoms, however I would recommend repeating your pregnancy test in a few days.

Whilst I do not wish to alarm you, if you experience any unusual bleeding, abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain, bladder or bowel problems or feel dizzy and unwell please seek urgent medical advice.

Sending much love,
