please help - am I having an eptopic

[gestures]

Hi,

Advice urgently reuire - don't want to call NHS Direct as I find them really unhelpful.

I am on my period I think. Had four days of spotting (brown and red) and then heavy period yesterday and today. Don't usually get that much spotting but last couple of days been more normal. Had very sore boobs and thought maybe I was pregnant and the sore boobs only disappeared yesterday.

Last night I got severe pain in left shoulder late at night. Took painkillers and fell asleep and ok in morning. Started again a couple of hours ago making my gasp in pain. Painkillers not helped.

No other pains anywhere but know shoulder pain can be sign of eptopic. Doesn't feel lie muscle pain. Should I go to casualty? Please help.

How are you feeling this morning gestures? Hope you managed to get some rest.

hope your ok gestures

gestures,

How are you today?

Hi everyone,

Shoulder still hurts but dull ache now rather than shooting pains. No other aches so think I must be okay. Feel silly now. Thank you for being worried about me.

i think you should still go and get checked out, ectopic pregnancy is very dangerous. I recently had one but had no pin which was the scariest thing as i didnt know how severe it was. But i was always told if i get any pain in my shoulder at all, to go straight to hospital. The bleeding isnt a sign that its sorting its self out, more of a sign that something could rupture, or something inside is bleeding. With me the bleeding was the MC of the ectopic pregnancys twin........... bizarre i know.

not trying to scare you, just hope you at least go to your doctor as stranger things have happened.

Gesture,

Agree with SB I really want you to get checked out today. EP's are'nt always dramtic affairs, collapsing, lots of pain etc but it could well be if left. As I said before shoulder tip pain can be a sign of internal bleeding. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Whoops forgot to say have name changed.

Hi everyone, It's got dramatically better with ibuprofen gel. I feel stupid for worrying you all now. Thanks again. It's so nice to have such caring people to talk to when worried. x

glad to hear its cleared up xx

gestures....that's great news! Glad you're feeling better
