Anyone here with experience of an ectopic pregnancy?

This could be and probably is infact, absolutely nothing but i'm a little worried anyway.

I have been on Cerazette (mini pill) for about 4 months. In that time, i had one, small period in the second month and nothing since.

For about 2 weeks now I've been getting on and off abdominal cramping, more so on the right side but it strikes on both, intermittent and sometimes quite severe.

Then, on Friday, I developed a sharp shoulder pain, right at the top, towards the back. Thats intermittent too and its still happening.

I'm hesitant to think its anything serious at all pregnancy related as i haven't missed a single pill, but I have on a couple of occasions had a tummy upset and not used the condoms for 7 days as advised.

So, just wondering if there is anybody out there who has experienced ectopic pregnancy and if that could be a possibility?

I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow
:(

Hope you got on okay with this?

I had an ectopic pregnancy - didn't even know I was pg - and the pain was REALLY bad. Far worse than any severe period pains that I'd ever had, say.

I guess it's entirely possible that you could get different degrees of pain and the sharp shoulder pain is the thing that would concern me. You were right to see a doctor as ectopics can be life threatening.
