Late period and scared of ectopic. Can anyone reassure me?

[whereismyperiod]

I had a self-resolving ectopic pregnancy about five years ago, followed by five miscarriages. We then stopped trying completely.

We stupidly didn't use protection once a few weeks ago, I was stupid and didn't think it would be a big deal as we wouldn't mind a baby if it did ever happen. My period is now 5 days late, tests are all negative, it's felt like it built up to it then nothing happened.

I really don't want to be pregnant deep down and I absolutely don't want another ectopic, it was terrifying. I've just had a panic attack about it.

Can I talk to a GP about this or would I be wasting their time?

So sorry to hear this 💐
I had an ectopic pregnancy a few years ago, followed by DS a few years later. It is very unlikely to happen to you again, and I understand why you are upset, it is shit.
Pregnancy tests are pretty accurate these days so you are not likely to be pregnant, but maybe the stress is keeping your period off.
It sounds as that his is really upsetting you (and understandably), so you should go and see your doctor.

Thank you so much for replying Caspar I really appreciate it sorry you went through it too.

If nothings happened by Monday I think I will go to GP. And I'll never stupidly say it's okay again, we were just caught up.

Been ages since I've had a panic attack, can't stop shaking

I’ve just had/am having an ectopic pregnancy. I know that they’re all different, but what alerted me was a faint positive pregnancy test alongside constant light bleeding.
I think if you were having an ectopic it would be likely to give you a positive test,

I’m sorry you’re worried and I think you’d be perfectly justified to go to the gp if you don’t get your period soon.

ToftheB I'm sorry you're going through one right now, and for your loss - I really hope things turn out well for you. Thank you for taking the time to be kind

Unbelievable. I was waiting on a callback from a GP and literally as they rang, my period started - so hopefully it's all over, and then I will just never ever have sex again!

How are you doing @ToftheB? I hope you have lots of support around you.
