eptopic ?

[Shuv007]

Hi I have just been having really bad pain in my back at the right hand side and all down my leg. Also I get an ache on the top of my vagina . I have been to the doctor and had tests and I had to do a pregnancy test in case it was eptopic. This came back negative . is there any chance it could still be eptopic

Hi Sorry you have been poorly :<(

I had a suspected eptopic pregnancy last year and so I know that a characteristic of an eptopic pregnancy can be getting combination of positive and negative results from pregnancy tests, so yes there is a chance that you could be having an eptopic pregnancy despite having a negative test.

Hope you get it sorted soon

What were your symptoms

Is this the same as an ectopic pregnancy where the foetus grows in the fallopian tubes??

[Shuv007]

yes

hi sorry to hear that youve not been well :(

 i would thinkby now that if  it was ectopic and the test was wrong you would now be in real agony , however it has been known that a positive result followed a negative soif pain worsens get medical assistance immediately. Have you had regular smears ???, or been checked for Fibroids / Endometriosis think symptoms need to be checked out more X lol

hi, i would ask for a scan, i had similar symptoms to you and a negative pregnancy test so my gp sent me to have a scan and i had an eptopic pregnancy, please see your gp again or go to the a+e if you experience any shooting pains in your abdomen, if you do have an eptopic it is absolutley essential to get treatment asap!

An ectopic pregnancy can only occur if you are pregnant. Therefore if a blood pregnancy test comes back as being negative - then you are NOT pregnant and there is no chance of you having an ectopic.
Hope this helps.

The thing with having an ECTOPIC (not eptopic)pregnancy is that in order for the pregnancy sac to cause pain, it has to be a decent size, and to be a decent size, it has to be quite a few weeks into the pregnancy...  ie.. around the 6 weeks mark. Any pregnancy of 6 weeks will definately be producing enough of the Beta HCG hormone to be detected in a pregnancy test, and hence the test would be positive.

So in response to the question... 'could it still be an ectopic?'....... its unlikely. I wonder might you have an ovarian cyst??

If your pain persists, I suggest you go back to your GP who may send you along for an ultrasound scan to take a look at whats going on inside.

Best wishes

Hi

I am experiencing the same symptoms you had last June. Did you ever find out what was wrong with you? I am thinking about seeing my Dr, but I havent yet made an appointment so your response would be appreciated. thanks

I had horrendous abdominal pains and ended up in casualty.

They said it was ectopic and was referred for surgery.

Tell your doctor your worries and ask them to do the relevant tests to put your mind at rest.
