Pregnancy Info HOME

I am about 5 weeks pregnant (thanks to chlomid). 3 days ago I went into urgent care for terrible right abdominal pains, rt shoulder pain and some bleeding. My hCG level was 9000, equivalent to 5-6 wks pregnant. the pain subsided and came back the next day. We went into triage and they did an US. I was in so much pain- I couldnt breath, they wouldnt give me anything for the pain in case I would need surgery. They said it could be free flowing blood due to an ectopic pregnancy (I had a miscarriage in sep '04 at 8wks-also used chlomid). The Dr. then came in and said the pain I was experiencing was my uterus expanding and working harder because I am pregnant with twins! Boy was I shocked- how can it cause so much pain? Some of you have mentioned sharp pains- but like this? Has anyone experienced anything similar to this?? I have taken the last 2 days off work and wonder if I should take the rest of the week off? I am a teacher and my class is terrible this year. The pain is not as bad, just the sharp pains and some spotting at times (Dr. said that is due to implantation) Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.
