ectopic pregnancy?

[Carolina]

Hi i went to the doctor today (mentioned in my other post) and im probably freaking out for nothing but i have a lot of symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy. Has anyone had one and think its possible. Im also waiting to see if i have endometriosis and theres apparently an increased risk of an ectopic with endo.

Ive never had low blood pressure or such constant dizziness before...a bit worrie!

dunno hun, have you got pains in the tops of your arms where it meets the shoulder bit, think thats a sign?

 

[Carolina]

yeah in one shoulder but i get aches and pains all the time

 

[loopylew]

i dunno then, best if your doc is checking that out then to be on the safe side.

thanks suz that was def informatice im going to ask the doctor when he calls me this afternoon. The other thing that made me painc a bit was that im getting the blood results back within 24 hours he said it was 'urgent' and any other time ive got bloods done ive had to wait a week or so (nhs). im probably worryiing about nothing but i think it is wise to e aware of these things and be overly cautious-just incase.

But it is better to be safe than sorry. Glad they are checking you out. I hope all is well.

Aw Best of luck Carolina! You are in my thoughts! I hope everything comes back good..

i got my result back today and my bloods are all normal (which is good but i thought i was maybe anaemic). The dr. said if i start getting pain to go to A+E over the week end otherwise he thinks ive probably got a bad virus. Feel releived he doesnt think its an ectopic!

i am prone to viruses and infections in thelast year ive had 3 flus, 2 doses of tonsilitis, 1 chest infection, 3 kidney infections and thrush. The worst was shingles though it was hell! I have a crap immune system and feel like pooh!

The last thing i feel like doing is bd but i had a lot of ew cm yesterday which ive never seen before its usually creamy so i probably should considering last cycle was 24 days so it could be possible!

i'm glad everything went well with the tests, i think we all panic a bit at times, especially when ttc, we are so conscious of every single twinge or gurgle our bodies make. good luck with bd tonight.
