Pregnancy Info HOME

Britney- I lost my right fallopian tube from an ectopic as my first pregnancy. So, the 3 other pregnancies after that I went to the ER right away to make sure it wasn't another. Each time, I had a lot of pain in the side also. When you are pregnant, your ovary produces luteal phase to make the hormone production for the pregnancy. It is actually rather normal to have some pain from the ovary you ovulated from due to this. I bled with pain with my ectopic. But, the pain was so bad that I couldn't move and it literally felt like a knife was stabbed into me. WIth this pregnancy where I am now 25 weeks, I was freaking out in the beginning because I was having pain again. But, I went to the ER (you have to if you had a prior ectopic) and my HCG was showing fine for a normal pregnancy and they did an ultrasound and the sac was in the uterus. The pain lasted for weeks... Just the overworking of the ovaries. Its not pain from your tube your feeling. In fact, your tubes are constantly moving in there, that it wouldn't be in one spot. Sounds like ovarian pain. Also, its really rare for an ectopic. Oh and if it was an ectopic, the pain woudln't die out.. the pain would be real bad constant. I would wait out to your appt. (its not that long away).. unless you are so doubled over that it seems more then overproduction of hormones from the ovary. Oh... one last thing.. if it was an ectopic your HCG wouldn't be doubling like it should. In fact, it would be rather low and not doing much of anything. I had a negative pregnancy test (urine) the whole time of my ectopic and I was 7 weeks in the tube when it ruptured. Try not to stress!! I'm sure everything will be perfect. :)
