Description of ectopic pain please...

Hi girls,

I would appreciate it if anyone is comfortable giving me some information on this.

I'm not convinced I have an ectopic pregnancy or anything...Just I have some aches in my back. I am 4+2 today.

I believe with ectopic you can get referred pain to your shoulder, and just wanted more info on type of pain (dull, sharp, ache), and exact place. Also how far along were you?

Thanks a lot. xx

  • Hi Mithical, I haven't had one but I did find this when I googled Ectopic pain and it does cover the types of pain. Hope this is of some help and you are ok.

  • Thanks Lottie+Neve, What I'm experiencing is muscular aches. Just not sure why I have so many of them! lol

    It was the shoulder tip pain I was interested in, covered by that site. All my aches are in my back, and are not enough to take painkillers for.

    Thanks again. xx

  • hun its probably just your uterus stretching and this is totally normal, please dont worry, you will be fine and the more you stress is worse it si for your baby, relax and enjoy it without worryin too much [hard to do i know!] xxxxxxxx
  • Hi ~Diane~ thanks for your reply.

    I'm actually not stressed, other than having had the mmc last time. I didn't have as many aches as this the last time, so I'm actually hoping it's a more positive thing. xx

  • Hi Mithical
    I recently had an ectopic - shoulder pain is quite acute, constant - you notice it as it seems to be in a strange place (!) literally just on top of your shoulders - the other place is lower abdomen pain- can feel tender especially on one side - for me this started 7 weeks+ haven;t heard of back pain as being an issue - hope that helps a bit - am keeping everything crossed for you

  • Thank you very much Daisy. I read about the shoulder tip pain. But needed to check as have an ache around my shoulder blade. I don't think I have an ectopic. xx

  • I have an ache on the right side. Sometimes as low as bikini line, mostly mid abdo but the right side. It's more or less constant, not acutely painful. No shoulder tip pain, and not particularly painful if I push on the abdo.

    Have dr appointment on Tuesday to register pg, and will ask. Am hoping to get NHS early scan if I can anyway.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Very much appreciated. xx

  • Hi Mithical
    Just wanted to say good luck with Drs on Tues,(if it helps, when I pushed my right side it really hurt (!)
    have you had any bleeding? it is as described like 'prune juice'

    everyone is different and I know its difficult not to worry but you are doing the right thing and hopefully your Dr will send you for a scan - mine sent me the following day as I'd been bleeding for 2.5 weeks so they take it seriously
    I hope its all ok, will keep all crossed

  • Hi KTDaisy,

    No actual bleeding, but had pink cm twice today, then the next time went to loo it was normal again.

    It is a comfort to know it should be painful to press on, as mine really isn't! xx
