Great information here, thank you. I suffered an ectopic pregnancy about 18 months ago, and was rushed to hospital after collapsing, after my GP diagnosed rupturing cysts. I lost one tube. But need some advice, my period is one day late, although it feels like it is coming on. I was very dizzy this morning, after an awful night of my mouth filling with excess saliva, and having to rush retching to the bathroom. I have also broken out on my face, and have been like this for 2 weeks. I am also VERY hot all the time. I did take a test 5 days ago which was negative, am I hoping for too much? I know I need to take another test, but we live out in the country, may take a few days to get to a shop. any thoughts very welcome

thankyou for your post nut.very helpful.we'd been told we were pregnant,only to be told a few days later it was gone.Then when the bleeding continued,only to be told we may not be as far along as we thought or it could be ectopic.the hormone levels keep increasing,but not at the right speed.Then another ultrasound said they could detect a sac inside.i think we have both resigned to the fact its gone,but we have a little hope.stressing us out.but i dont think it is ectopic though

I have a suspected Ectopic pregnancy now. Being monitored by early pregnancy assessment centre. I've been told to hope for a miscarriage. Can anyone let me know their experiences? Did you have to have methotrexate injections? Or surgery? And how bad does the pain have to be before you go to emergency?

Sorry my reply is late but hopefully I can be of help. I had an ectopic with my first IVF cycle and was monitored like you - lucky my fertility clinic made me have a PG test following AF despite my misgivings. I had it removed from my tube via laporoscopy and they saved my tube. Unfortunately they must have left a few cells which grew back so I had to have a methotrexate injection. It wasn't painful but I wasn't allowed to ttc for three months as the drug can cause birth defects. I was told not to drink alcohol too for those months. I fell PG with my boy on my next ivf cycle three months later. I've also fallen PG with #2 on my first try naturally, so my tubes must be functioning in some way now. My thoughts are with you.

Hi
Just wondering if this cramping in the lower abdomen area is constant? I have had two cramps, quite low, whilst asleep that have woke me up and lasted around 1 minute or so.Not two nights in a row though! I have also had quite bad wind at night too? I'm heading back to the GP on Friday but this is playing on my mind alot. Are these the beginning of an ectopic pregnancy?

Thanks Nat

Hi allI'm a bit concerned after reading this post. I am 5 weeks pregnant and I had some constipation pains and abdominal pain when opening my bowels this morning. It went away straight away but now I'm worried about ectopic. How common is this? Can these pains just happen with nor al pregnancy? Can doctors detect this early? My hcg levels tripled and the doctor said this is a good sign. Hope someone can reassure me?

Ectopic pregnancy is risky and cannot be seen in ultrasound because it is not found in uterus. It is found in fallopian tubes. Continuously vaginal bleeding is its first symptom. So women should go to gyn for proper checkup during pregnancy.

What are the chances of having an ectopic pregnancy?
I have slight tummy pains atm, but I suffer from ibs so how do I tell the difference?
