I have been feeling a dull pain in my lower back (which I am use to every now and then from before my BFP) but I am also feeling a dull pain in my lower right abdomen. I am not sure if this is normal and if it continues I will find an OB/GYN and make an appointment ASAP. Saw my PCP today but at the time I did not think to ask her b/c the pain comes and goes.
Has anyone else ever experience a similar feeling? It is driving me crazy!! I also feel like I am on my period which is also making me feel bad.
Any advice??
Re: Dull pain in lower right abdomen?
I had a similar feeling a few months ago and it ended up ectopic. For me, I had the dull pain, like a cramp, off and on right around the lower right side of my abdomen (like over my ovary I guess).
I don't mean to worry you, just I would have your ob check you sooner rather than later (like asap). They will prob do an u/s and watch your hcg levels to make sure everything is ok. Better to be cautious on something like that.
Thanks. I will have to find an OB and try to get in for an appointment before the 8 week mark. I was not sure I wanted an OB to deliver because I was looking into a midwifery group..
Either way good advice ladies and I will keep you posted.
I'm going to introduce you to three words you will hear over and over in the next several months:
round ligament pain
Agreed. You should have it checked right away if it is localized to one side continuously. BUT to give you the other end of that spectrum I had the same thing (and still do). After many tests and early u/s we saw baby in the proper place..no ectopic. Just like every other symptom...."It could be something, it could be nothing!"
Just get it checked on.
