Hey I'm new too this site and didn't really no what section to write in. My partner and I have been trying for a baby since October last year and I had a period in jan and didn't have another one until last night. However this isn't like a normal period for me it's very light but the pain is so severe mainly on my left side and been having a lot of back pain. It's coming to the point I think I'm going to be physically sick because of the pain. My friend has said she thinks I may be having an etopic pregnancy as we have been trying and I can't get comfortable in anyway! Can't sit down or stand up or even lie down. Any help would be brilliant I don't no what to think but the pain is so sore it's the worst pain I have ever had !

Bumping for you as have no advice but it doesn't sound good. Can you go to A&E?

I was going to ring up to A&E as I live right beside the hospital but I didn't want to go up and them just tell me it was period pains but it's the worst I've ever experienced

Have a look here for advice www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/symptoms-and-diagnosis/

There is a helpline too.

Have you done a pregnancy test? A&E might be a good idea.

Have you taken a pregnancy test? If it is positive then would recommend going in. If the test is negative you could consider the out of hours GP as another option. I would advice getting checked out if you are in lots of pain though.

I haven't take a pregnancy test now in a couple of weeks as was sure I was not pregnant every time I tested it was negative

Do you have one handy you can use?

Please go and get yourself checked ... If it is ectopic things can get serious quickly... If not, at least you checked!

Hi, I had an ectopic and tested negative for AGES. What I thought was my period came 8 days late. I only tested positive once I was in hospital ready to have my tube taken out. Not to scare you but this sounds a lot like what I experienced, so go to A&E asap!

Rang the out of hours doctors and waiting to go up they can't see me until twenty to one so hopefully I will get sorted
