5weeks preg. Worsening pain in left side of abdomen, and lower back pain on left side. Just got back from ER?
I am 5 weeks pregnant and today i started feeling a little pain in the left side of me, down near my ovary/tube area. It started off dull but got a little worse with some lower back ache aswell. I went to the hospital and they said its too early to tell if its ectopic or not and to go to my doctor in a couple of days to organise a blood test and early ultrasound.
Has anyone ever had the same symptoms?? Could it just be gas pain?
im now starting to feel aching back and legs as i do when i have period pain..
I had these exact symptoms when I was 6 weeks along. I am now 9 weeks, and it is mostly gone now. I just brushed it off as stretching pains, until I started spotting. When I went to the doc. He did a blood test to check the hormone levels. Then I had to go back and do it again in 48 hours to compare the 2 tests. He said they are both normal. The pain is ligaments stretching, and is normal to happen in one particular spot. Good luck though, and I hope that everything turns out ok for you like it did for me.

I had similar symptoms with my first one and it turned out to be a cyst on my ovary and was VERY painful.
Go to your doctor right away as if it is a eptopic it can be very dangerous.
I would demand an ultrsound now just to rule things out like a cyst.

I don't know. I have heard that gallbladders can act up when you are pregnant…have you ever had gall stones…is that even the right side of the body to have that?
It could be gas. I remember feeling cramps that early on but not like that…more like menstrual.
Good luck.

I had these pains as well…i had an early US when i was only 6 weeks and they thought they had found an ectopic pregnancy aside from the one that was forming in the uterus…but it turned out to be a fibroid tumor… I am now 20 weeks along and doing good…aside from some off and on pain on my side do to the fibroid..

I am suspecting you have an ectopic pregnancy.
