I think its very important to have the correct facts about ectopic on here seeing how many ladies post they are worried that it might be...
ectopic is life threatening and needs to be treated asap as there is not much time if the tube bursts.
i dont know the whole facts i can only say from my experiences and hope other ladies will post theirs.
mine was only 3 weeks ago and i posted for advice on these forums as i was not going to go to the hospital and see if it cleared on its on.
my signs were.
-pos preg tests but never got super dark even by 6weeks
-low hgC levels in blood
-i knew i was preg but had no symptoms at all
- brown muddy discharge only a tiny bit of bright red blood ( too many people say brown blood is ok THIS IS NOT OK)
-short spells of dizziness
- i had no major pain till the day it burst and that pain was my whole belly ached and was sore to touch i could not stand upright it was like my whole belly was full of trapped wind, it hurt to breath laying down with the tip of my shoulder having tabbing pains when i breathed in.
- when i went for a wee my whole belly was in pain.
i had a scan at 5+2 which showed no signs of pregnancy but was told it could be too early.
these were just my signs and if others post you can see not everyone is the same, i always thought the pain would be on one side but mine never was.
i just knew something was not right however i did not know it was ectopic.
if an ectopic is found early enough sometimes they can save your tube
i think the main thing for me to say is not to ignore constant brown discharge just cos its not bright red it does not mean its ok.
i hope no one is offended by me posting this
