Infertility

Those who have had ectopic

I am going in for my first u/s tuesday.  Starting yesterday, I have had lower back pain and "pressure" around my left ovary.  It is not really pain, just like when I was stimming.  A new worry for me...

Re: Those who have had ectopic

  • I'm sorry for the added worry. I will pray that your u/s shows everything is healthy!

  • I know it's easier said than done - try not to worry! When mine was found, I said to the RE - "on the right side?" and he said "no, on the left". He said most people don't feel their ectopic until 8 weeks or so, when it's bigger. Our early u/s gets us diagnosed much sooner than the average person.

    Best of luck to you on Tuesday!

  • Are you spotting at all?? With mine I didn't have any pain (I was only 5 1/2 weeks) but had brown spotting towards the end. And I didn't know I was pregnant until a couple days before the u/s because I had what I thought was my period. 5 days of bleeding with bad cramps. Also your ovaries have been through a lot, so maybe the pain/pressure is from that. Good luck with your u/s!

    This.

    When .

    I had mine and they did an u/s and tried to look at my right side I burst into tears from the pain I was in on that side.  I told my RE it had to be on my right side and when I had my D&C and Lap they didn't find anything on that side, it was on my left.

    Good luck on Tuesday and try not to worry.

  • Oh hon, I know how stressful it us heading into that first u/s. Just to let you know, I was SURE mine was ectopic too. I had pain/pressure on the right side, and just this ominous feeling. Turns out I was just feeling a couple of good sized ovarian cysts. The mind ats a lot of tricks on us during this process. Try and remember that things don't always end badly.

    That is so hard to remember!! We continuously deal with bad things happening to us, and disappointment every cycle that it is a shock when something good finally happens to us.

  • When I went for my 5 week u/s yesterday, they said my ovaries were more than 4 times their normal size, which is typical after IVF. I was in shock, and they said, didn't you feel them? I did, but I thought twinges, pulls, etc were normal. Now it all makes sense. It could very well just be your ovaries that you're feeling. I bet you have a great u/s!!

  • Ectopics can be detected as early as 5 weeks or even sooner.

    But don't worry until the tests are in.  Many things feel strange that are not ectopic.

  • ALERT......SAIF response

     

     

    With my ectopic I didn't have any pain.  My biggest tip off was the lack of doubling HCG.  Your levels look great, so that's a good sign.

    Also, with this PG my ovary was huge for weeks and weeks.  And I only got 4 eggs total (all from that one).  I felt a lot of pressure there, I think just from the stims.  I had a significant pulling pain right around my ovaries whenever I would roll over in bed or twist and they said it was some ligaments stretching. 
    I have high hopes that everything will be just fine for you. The cramping occurs with a ton of healthy pregnancies.  All the best.

  • We are in the same boat.  I had beta #1 last Friday=242 and #2 today=653.... I am totally freaked out because I am having some serious pain near my left ovary.  You have to let me know how your u/s goes. 
    Best of luck to you!  I am hoping we are both fine!
