IVFers and ectopic pregnancy?

Anyone know if IVFers are more prone to an ectopic pregnancy?  I got my BFP last week and am now having sharp pains on my right side between the hip bone and pubic area.  Just wondering if it could be ectopic pregnancy or still recovery pains from ER?

    You are "less likely" to have an ectopic with an IVF cycle but it does not rule it out at all.  I am living proof.  I had my first IVF end in an ectopic.

    Have it checked out.  Ectopics can happen at any time with any procedure.

    Don't hesitate to check with your Dr! I've had 2 ectopics ( 1 IUI, 1 natural). I know IVF is less likely. Good luck! I hope your baby is growing in your uterus!

    I too had an ectopic after IVF. No one thought to take my pain seriously. Ended up in urgent surgery with a d&c and removal of my right tube because of the ectopic.
