Tubal Pregnancy? Posted: 10-04-06 01:31am
Hello,
I think I might be pregnant, my bf and
I had sex on the 19th of september and my
last period was 9/8-9/11. I have been
having the following signs: sore boobs,
acute sense of smell, nausea, increase
urination. My period is due on thursday,
which I am waiting for. My question is I
am having mild cramps on my left side
only. I am wondering if this could be a
tubal pregnancy, or is a common to have it
on one side more? I plan to make an
appointment, but I would like to know what
you guys think.
Thanks
kat

I think you might want to test first to
see if your pregnant. Good luck

Hi kat,
when you say tubal pregnancy, do you mean
ectopic pregnancy?
Usually with an eptopic pregnancy you will
have severe abdominal pain, cramping,
vaginal spotting, fever and general
feeling of being unwell.
The symptoms you have explained sound more
like pre-menstral, if your period hasn't
arrived by thursday do a hpt.
I don't thinl I ever heard of people
having nausea when they are expecting
their period ...But I guess everyone is
different.If these are things that are not
common for you then you need to take a
test.They sound like good signs,but to be
on the safe side,take a test.

Sorry, it's been so long life has been
busy. I have taken four tests all
negative. It has been six days since my
expected period. I have been spotting a
little and having brownish discharge(like
dried blood?) would a ectopic show up on a
pregnancy test? I am worried but it also
may just be stressed. I have an
appointment on the 19th already for just a
physical, I figured I just ask about it
then. Should I call can tell them I might
have an ectopic pregnancy or just wait?
The cramp like feeling is gone, unless I
sit a certain way it doesn't hurt just odd
feeling. The other smytoms are gone. I
am so confused? I have no fever, sharp
pains, or anything to those effects. What
do you guys think I should do?
Thanks
kat

Hi kat,
an ectopic pregnancy wouldn't show up on a
hpt, you would need to have a ultrasound
for it to show up. By now you would be in
severe pain if it was...
You may have an infection, have you been
checked for std's?
Let us know.

Actually ectopics do often show up as a
positive hpt - although typically the the
hcg levels are lower.
And secondly you wouldn't neccessarily be
in severe pain - I wasn't and I had a
positive hpt.
The pain is caused when a fallopian tube
ruptures, there may or may not be mild
discomfort prior to that. However not all
ectopics are in the fallopian tube (mine
wasn't) and therefore do not neccessarily
have that symptom.
[please make sure your information is
correct before posting it as a statement
of fact]
to the original poster why are you so
concerned that the possible pregnancy may
be ectopic?
The quickest way to find out is to see
your doctor/gyn/planned parenthood and get
a test done to find out if you are
pregnant and if not why you don't have
your period.
