My test came positive few days back and i keep reading scary stuff online about ectopic. i have a little pain on one side and now im worried. what are the signs to watch for, i want to ask my doctor properly at the first scan.
My doctor told me the early scan and the hcg blood levels are how they confirm whether the pregnancy is in the right place. So an early ultrasound is important. If you ever feel severe pain on one side with spotting, get checked urgently.
This is not something to figure out at home na. Severe pain, shoulder tip pain or fainting are warning signs. Please go straight to your gynac or emergency if you suspect it.
Please take this seriously, an ectopic usually shows up as sharp one sided pain, bleeding, or dizziness early on. I had a friend who went through it and quick action mattered a lot. If you have such symptoms go to the doctor immediately, dont wait.
I totally understand the worry, this topic is scary. The safest thing is an early scan with your doctor to confirm everything is in place. Please dont carry this stress alone, get it checked soon.
