I am about 5-6 weeks pregnant, not sure on this exactly. I was at the early pregnancy unit a week and a half ago but I was told that it was too early to date the pregnancy and they couldn't really see much on the scan and I was getting a weak positive on a pregnancy test. They gave me a leaflet about ectopic pregnancy and I asked if this was because of what they had seen on the scan but they said that they gave the leaflet to everyone. I have another appointment at the EPU on Wednesday. For the past few days I have been experiencing thick brownish discharge and light blood spotting, I have also been getting pain in my lower left side and have had an upset stomach. The pain isn't severe but it's worse when I stand up. Today I've also had some nausea which I haven't experienced so far. This together with the fact that the scan results were inconclusive has really made me concerned that it is an ectopic pregnancy.
Advice online seems to be to go and have this checked out to be on the safe side but I'm worried about wasting people's time if it turns out to be nothing and I'm wondering if it's ok to wait until Wednesday. As it's Saturday tomorrow, I would probably have to go to A and E to have a scan.
I was wondering what the advice would be from everyone on the forum? Has anyone experienced an ectopic pregnancy? Thanks in advance!
