I have missed my last 4 periods which are
always on time/regular. For the past 3
months I have had severe cramping pain in
my lower abdomen, particularly on the left
side. Of late the cramping has become
extremely painful to the point of cripling
over screaming, i've also had a lot of
pressure on my rectum which is not due to
me needing to use the toilet as well as
lower back pain. Following a doctors
visit she tested my hcg levels which came
back "negative" and I was sent home with a
referral to a gastroenterologist to see if
he could provide further details.
Just one week later I was taken to the
emergency department with excruciating
cramps and lightheadedness/dizzy feeling.
After a very brief description of my pain
and other symptoms the dr proceeded to
tell me I probably just have irritable
bowel syndrome (with no symptoms) and sent
me home to take buscopan.
I have a very negative feeling about both
doctors advice as this pain has not gone
away and is only becoming more
excruciating. I have had no bleeding and
an ultrasound found no gestational sac -
but is it possible I have an ectopic
pregnancy which is going undiagnosed?

I would definalty go back to the er or doc
and tell them about your worries of a
ectpoic!!!! If you wait to long, it could
bust and you will start to bleed
internally. Go back and demand for them
to check for it!!

I have been experiencing the same thing
for a week or so and my breast have grown
from 38 c to 40 dd in 2 weeks time. I
have all the symptoms but after 3 babies
and 1 miscarrage I had my tubes tiedmy
pregnancy test was negative but everyone
including the dr want me to come in for an
ultrasound given my medical history they
say it is very likely. However with no
other symptoms other than missed period
you may have a very low iron count becouse
I have done that also and had to take iron
supplements and my periods were normal
after about 2 months. Demand you have an
ultrasound of you ovaris and tubes done
and if they are negative get the blood
work done for anemia and other things like
hormonal levels
