Ectopic pregnancy

by star_girl, Apr 17, 2008 04:29PM
So i found out about 2 weeks ago that im pregnant for the first time.  Ive been having all the signs and symptoms of pregnancy.  Ive been having a light cramping nothing major and then today had light pink blood that turned into brown then nothing in the matter of one hour.  I dont have a left fallopian tube (due to surgery where i had a cyst/tumor on my left ovary so its all gone on that side) and have been having slight pain on my right side.  Has anyone had an ectopic pregnancy before that could help me out?  I dont have insurance but i know my family would help me out if i need emergency surgery.  Thanks!

Are you sure its ectopic pregnancy? i would think since you only have the right ovary left thats where the baby is growing but im not sure sorry

I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2005.  I found out when I was 6.5 weeks.  If you at all think you may be having a tubal then I suggest you call your doc for an u/s.  If a tubal is caught early, they can treat it with a methrotrexate shot.  If you wait then there is a chance they will have to remove your tube.  The only symptoms I had was cramping, and mild off/on shoulder pain.  If you're worried then just give your doc a call.  GOOD LUCK!!!

im only asking because i googled "pelvic pain during pregnancy' and it said it occurs towards the end of the first trimester or after delevery. but im sure it can occur earlier because it is your first pregnacy. i would google "pelvic pain during pregnancy" it will give you helpful tips to releave the pain :)

If the doctor thought it was ectopic your doctors appointment wouldn't be in two weeks.
I'm sure you will be fine. I think that is normal in pregnancy.
