I am due my period in the next few days, but for the last 3 days have had large clots of brown discharge and watery brown discharge.
It crossed my mind that i could be miscarrying so searched on here and came accross ectopics and noticed that the pain i've been feeling in my shoulder for the last 3 days also can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy. (sounds strange i know, but its the weirdest pain just on tip of my shoulder as described on the ectopic site.)
I am not ttc but not on contraception - just using condoms. The only time there may have been an 'accident' was 2nd Jan, on a drunken night (this is when it gets embarrassing) we had sex and fell asleep straight away. I woke up in the morning to find the condom still inside me . Since i've been reading about ectopics and the fact that the coil can be a barrier to the sperm fertilising in the right place, i'm wondering if the condom could've done the same job as the coil does? does that make sense?
I'm having mild cramping pains tonight and did also last night.
I'm waiting for nhs direct to call back.
But part of me things i'm being ridiculous as we're only talking 17 days ago - would signs start this quickly?
Hope someone has read to the end of this and can help me out here!
