Is mine tubal pregnancy ?

[monica_ed]

Hi,
I found two days ago that I am 3 weeks pregnant. I missed my period and i have other symptoms like tender breasts and joint pain. On the day i was expecting my period i got a pain on my lower left abdomen. It is not sharp pain but a dull ache that spreads to my thigh. I don't have it through out the day but it increases after bowel movement.Is it a sign of tubal pregnancy?  I had a miscarriage 6 months ago. I also underwent a laparoscopic surgery for cyst removal on my left fallopian tube 2 months back.My first prenatal visit is scheduled for last week of October.

Hope somebody can help me...

Regards
Monica

I would def. speak to your doctor. It may just be from the surgery, but with any type of surgery it will leave scar tissue on your fallopian tube, and scar tissue on a fallopian tube can cause the egg to get stuck there, and increases the risk for tubal pregnancies.

They should give you an ultrasound at your first visit because having surgery on your tubes increases the chances for tubal pregnancies.

If your pain continues I would suggest going to the ER, and letting them know what is going on.

Good luck!

It may just be from the surgery actually. I had a laparotomy almost 2 months ago to remove a cyst from my right ovary. The dr said to expect some pains and weird feeling from the area for around 6 months. Even today I have been having a dull ache on my right side. I don't think you would be able to tell if its a tubal until you get to the point that the fetus grows to bursting point, not to scare you. If you have an ultrasound they should be able to tell you if its a tubal pregnancy but you may not get your first ultrasound in time. I would ask your doctor at your prenatal visit about your concerns. My best guess goes to your surgery though. Since your left side was operated on to remove the cyst, I would say that its just after effects from the surgery. Hope this helps! If you still feel uncomfortable just call your doctor and explain to them how you feel! Good luck and Congrats!
