she had been TTC for a 3rd baby and had the signs of feeling pg weeks ago but had 2 negative pg tests. she went to docs yesterday to see whats the pains and they booked her in for next week for a swab. She got taken in to hospital last nite and they told her that she IS pg and is having the scan today.... possibly be a etopic pg

could that be true?

Not really - it was suggested it was either implantation bleeding or a threatened miscarriage.

Hi sorry have no experience in this but if she is in that much pain perhaps she should go back to the Hospitals A&E dept. If it is an eptopic pg i have read that the earlier that it is caught the less damage is done to tubes.
Sorry i can't be of more help bound to be someone on here with more experience.
I hope your friend is ok

agree with Willow. Symptoms are consistent with an ectopic PG. If your friend is still in terrible pain, I think she should call the hospital (or just turn up to the gynae A & E at the Women's Hospital) to get checked out in case it is an ectopic pg, since if it is an ectopic pg, the sooner your friend is treated for it, the better.

I had light bleeding and cramps at about 5 weeks PG and everything was OK, but they were initially concerned it was an ectopic PG (had blood tests and scans).

well now she is back home as she had a blood test which it was low and docs said it was too early in pg to tell the hormone level. so is having scan on monday and also another blood test to see if hormone level rises, if it does then thats means baba is ok.

i got a text from her this morning and now she is in so much pain and in bed and is scared, her DH had taken their 2 kids out for the day so my friend can rest. she asked me to ask any of yous for advice....

she got a terrible back pain and wanted to know if any women had experienced light bleeding (blood) pains in a normal pg..?

Symptoms could well be those of an ectopic - terrible stomach pains and no positive on a DIY test but positive on hospital test is exactly what I had.
