Reassurance please got my bfp but soo anxious!

[Patsy7]

Hello lovelies

I got my bfp a few days ago and it is getting darker and darker every day!

I should be so happy and excited but this is only my 2nd pregnancy, my 1st was 13months ago and was ectopic (ruptured and right tube removed). it was such a horrific experience and i am so sorry to anyone who has been through the same thing it was a living nightmare.

So naturally really worried that this will be the case again.. i have endo so my risk is higher for ectopics too.

Ive been getting af cramping. really quite strong sometimes.. but they only last for a few minutes at the most. other than that sharp niggling pains here and there in my uterus but mostly on my left side this is worrying me so much i am convinced history is repeating itself!

Please tell me if all this cramping on one side is normal or advice from anyone whos been through a similar experience would be so appreciated.. im trying not to stress but just cant help it!!

I have an appt with my gyne dr on Wednesday so its just trying to reassure myself until then. by the way i am only (by my calculation) 3wk5days i had a very very early faint line at 7dpo and 8dpo which has got darker it is now as dark as the control line this is also worrying me! argh! haha

thanks in advance for any input xx

I have a daughter but my last pregnancy after her ended up as an ectopic which unfortunately was missed and it ruptured. Very scary time.
I fell pregnant 2 months after my operation and am now 17 weeks along.
I had crampy pains and all sorts of niggles, especially on the side where my tube was removed. I did however feel a lot more pregnant with increasing symptoms this time.
My early scan was at 6+3.

I haven't had an ectopic and I'm so sorry for what you went through I did have a mmc with my last one and was very concerned about losing this one as well, a couple days after my bfp I was getting some pretty serious cramping but it was all focused on my right side so I was worried about a possible ectopic, I went to the dr, she did blood work and a scan even though I knew she wouldn't see anything, she insisted on the scan just in case, of course the scan didn't show anything yet. anyhow about a week later the cramping was mostly gone and I saw a healthy baby at 7 weeks, the dr and a friend of mine that used to work with high risk pregnancies just said that sometimes you can have cramping on the side that you ovulate from...not sure if that helps or not but that was my experience with cramping.
