What does shoulder pain feel like in ectopics?

[Olive1987]

Hello. I've just done a pregnancy test after previous bfn's and it's a lovely clear 2nd positive line!!!!
I'm worried though because I keep getting pains. It feels like period pain and then sometimes like and on off pain on my left side low down. Like where my ovaries are? I've had two previous miscarriages in a row so I am scared I've got an ectopic now! The pain was before I knew I was pregnant. It hasn't happened in a couple of days now.

But

Yesterday at work I had a pain in my shoulder. Right at the tip. It lasted about 30 seconds and was like a sharp throbbing. If that makes sense?
If I was reading this myself I would probably say it's nothing to worry about I'm just being paranoid because of the previous losses. I just can't help but worry. All I've ever been to the doctors for recently is bleeding in pregnancy. I think the epu are getting to know me. I feel like I shouldn't go back just yet.

If you had an ectopic what did your shoulder pain feel like? (If you don't mind talking about it). Thank you. X

Hi everyone . Please help
Anout 5 months ago I felt a burning sensation in my arm after unloading a huge trailer of brick by hand with my husband . Shoulder pain slowly started to go away . I’m 7 weeks pregnant now and have been reading about ectopic pregnancy . And they mentioned shoulder pain , says tip of shoulder . I’m stressing out
My pain seems to be in the top bicep tendon . Hurts when I pick up arm or push down and put pressure on it . Is this similar to the ecoptic shoulder pain ?
And I’m stressing myself out for no reason
Please help
Thank you !!

Hi. Can someone tell me where exactly you feel the shoulder tip pain please?

im currently just over 6 weeks pregnancy after a missed miscarriage and I’ve got a pain in my lower upper arm (feels like a dead arm) but of course I am stressing it’s an ectopic!

I do have a scan booked in already for this weekend but also am very curious x

Hi RachL29, how did you get on?

I am 6 weeks pregnant tomorrow and have had a wee bit of shoulder pain and the same pain in my arm that you are describing. Just worrying so looking for some reassurance!

Hope your scan went well xx

Hi Lou

Thankfully scan was all ok and baby is in the right place. If you’re worried and can afford it go and get a private scan to ease the worry.
Sending you best wishes! X

Aww I'm so happy to hear everything was okay with your scan! ❤️ I have a private scan booked for Tuesday when I'll be 6+4, just counting down the days! Thank you for writing back to me 😊 All the best with your pregnancy 💕 xx

Good luck. I’ll have everything crossed for you. Xx
