Could this be an ectopic pregnancy?

Hi,

Last week I did a pg test on 13dpo and got a -ive, then had what I assumed was a normal period.

But my boobs still felt sore and not quite right. So on what I thought was cd6 I did another pg test and got a +ive straight away.

But then started bleeding again, on and off with cramping, sometimes in one side, sometimes all across my abdomen and sometimes in my lower back. The blood is often red in the morning and then goes darker as the day goes on.

Having had a mc before, I was assuming that it was that as my first hcg levels are quite low (having the next bloods done tomorrow) but I've since read that a few people have had what they thought was a period and it turned out to be ectopic.

The pain is definitely in one side of my back more than the other. The pain is relatively mild but I would only be about 5 weeks 4 days pg. Now I'm starting to think that the blood may be a very dark red as opposed to brown and I'm a bit worried.

I would phone the doctors/midwife/epu. You won't rest until you do. I've no experience of this but best to be checked. Hope all is well.

I agree - get it checked out. It might well be nothing, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I phoned NHS direct about a suspected ectopic (bleeding plus pain on one side) and they were surprisingly good, and advised me to go to A and E. Mine did turn out to be ectopic and I'm so glad I got it checked, so I'd advise anyone to do the same.

Get yourself checked out
I went to hospital with concerns and mine turne out to be ectopic. I saved my life.

This is pretty much how my first ectopic presented (negative test, bleed, felt preg, got BFP).
Please get a scan first thing. I really hope everything is fine for you.
