I had an ectopic back in April and had the right tube removed. Doctors said the left tube looked fine and were confident I could have a healthy pregnancy(I had a miscarriage in Feb as well). Since then I’ve found things hard and have struggled to come to terms with what has happened. Recently I’ve been feeling a lot better and have started to think about trying again in the next few months. Since having the tube removed I had felt pressure when I suspect I’m ovulating but I’m led to believe that’s normal.
Over the past few days I’ve been experiencing pressure and small amounts of pain in my left hand side (similar to the pain I had with my ectopic but a lot milder). On top of this my breasts are really sore (something I experienced with both failed pregnancies). My husband and I have been having sex but we were taking precautions (although I know no method is 100%). Looking at my cycle my period isn’t due for another 2 weeks.
I don’t know whether I’m just getting really anxious or if it’s possible this could be another pregnancy/ectopic. Is it possible to have symptoms this earlier on? I’m guessing there is no test/scan that would see anything this early so don’t want to waste my doctors time but I’m so worried about potentially losing the other tube!
Sorry you have suffered an ectopic then a miscarriage it is totally rubbish. I can understand why you are worried. I have suffered ep and miscarriages also and find that I worry about all sorts of aches and pains in that area. I started to write down when I got such symptoms and began to notice patterns like sore boobs and pain at time of ovulation. Once we have been through these traumatic experiences we are over sensitive to aches and pains in those areas, it is only natural.
Maybe you could do a home pregnancy test to put your mind at ease about the symptoms youre experiencing at the moment? If it is positive go to the Dr if nor wait and see what happens when af due.
From what I have been told by various dr it is not until week 6 that ectopic causes serious problems.
I hope that helps or you manage to find another way to reduce your worries. It is so hard not to stress out about it all, I have to keep saying to myself it will happen one day and be brave about the pain and disappointment along the way, we will all get there on the end.
I’ve just found out I’m pregnant about 5 weeks but I’ve very nervous. I’ve had 3 ectopic pregnancies the last one being in December last year. All treated by management so still have both tubes. Has anyone had a similar experience?
