ectopic?

i am scared now. i did a blood test after i found out i am pregnant cause the doctor wanted to know my hcg numbers and on monday, i have to do another one to see how its going. i dont have any results yet. my problem is that i have sharp pain depending on how i move on the right or sometimes the left side of my lower abdomen. like where the ovaries are. my cysts are gone. i dont have any cysts in there. my doctor said that if the pain continues , it might be an ectopic pregnancy. woa! no no no. has that happened to anyone here? and whats the symptoms . how do i know? and will the two blood test confirm if i am ok or not?

Three days ago I had my right fallopian tube removed due to ectopic pregnancy I was 5wks6days, and the pain was bad but not excruciating, mine even subsided after a couple hours and came back the next day and subsided again ,by then my tube had ruptured so if you have any incling to some sharp pains here and there or pressure on one side get it checked out! I was brown spotting a week and a half before this happened and they said it was normal my hcg levels were climbing as they should to so anytime you feel anything may be wrong get checked out you know your body.

hi boosty. i had a dull ache and was spotting dark brown. My HCG was going up but not doubling. I also had dizzy spells with mine. I know the wait to get your result must feel like forever but i certainly hope its all good news for you. I have all my fingers crossed for you.

I never had any pain until my tube ruptured at 8wks pg.  But in my early pg I did have a dull constant ache on my left side (the side I ovulated from) and dr said it was probably the corpus luteum.  I was really freaked out about it and worried it was another ectopic.  It eventually went away and all is fine now.  If you were on meds to increase number of follicles and ovulated on both sides, it could be corpus luteum.  

The blood test won't absolutely confirm anything, but it can give you an indication if there is a problem.  With ectopic the numbers are usually low and rise slower.  Not always tho.  The only way to know for sure is an u/s to see if sac is in the uterus. They can usually see something in the 5th week.

Good luck to you.

i just had an ectopic a few weeks ago. the pain was constant and one sided. at times it was a dull ache and others sharp but constant either way.  i had spotting bright red off and on for a few days and my hcg doubled originally but then plateaud. the final draw was the u/s that confirmed an empty uterus when the pain got severe.. like milky stated if the pain gets worse or you start to bleed then you need to go to the er. by the way what was your hcg?

Ectopic pregnancy give you a pain that you cannot handle not only sharp pain.
Its like you are going to die in that moment.
If you have sharp pain in your ovaries it might be still from the overstimulation.
I really do not think you can rule an ectopic from the pain.They have to do an U/S and find the uterus empty.
If the pain gets worse though go to the ER.
I hope everything willbe ok and you will have good news.
