Ectopic Or Ovarian Cyst Posted: 01-19-07 15:58pm
So I just got back from the er, with some
shocking news.
I'm five weeks pregnant and was having
some cramping in my uterus. I just wanted
to go to the er to make sure everything
was ok. This is my first baby so I
thought I was being overcautious.
After doing a pelvic exam and an
ultrasound they decided that I needed to
come back on sunday for a recheck. They
found something in my right ovary and
didn't see a baby on the ultrasound. The
doctor said it could be one of two
things.
1.) I have an ectopic pregnancy or
2.) I have an ovarian cyst in my ovary,
and since my hormone level is so low,
maybe the baby isn't showing up on the
ultrasound.
Right now, i'm so scared. The doctor told
me to come back in 48 hours. Until then I
think i'm going to go crazy with all this
stress.
Has this happened to anyone before, or can
anyone ease my mind.

Also....Are my chances lowerd of having
another baby if this an ectopic pregnancy?
I would think they woulda known if it were
ectopic, at 5 wks the baby is stil rather
small . So im not suer, ive never had an
ultrasound that early . So it could also
be a healthy pregnancy ya never know. Did
they to the belly ultrasound or the
vaginal. The vaginal is what usually
works best that early on and most drs will
do that before abotu liek 12 weeks or so
rather then the stomach

My good friend just had an eptopic
pregnancy and she was 5 weeks along the
pain was so unbareable she thought her
apendix and burst. She didn't know she
was pregnant but they saw the baby right
away in her tube, and it had to be
removed. I don't know if that helps but
at least that is how it was for one
person, I know everyone is diffrent.
