Stabbing Pains in Ovary? 5+3

Ok, so I am over-analysing every little thing that is happening with my body right now and it seems to be taking ages to get over this BH weekend to actually call my doc and talk things through properly.

Is having sharp pains in your ovary fairly normal? They feel painful but it's not so severe that it's stopping me doing anything and they do come and go. I am a little worried about the possibility of an ectopic pregnancy as I am going away soon and would like to be reassured before I go.

Have any of you ladies experienced this and can say it's fairly normal? I've read about cysts and stuff too, are they dangerous if it's that?

I had this. Also thought it might have been an ectopic pregnancy because I had one previously. Turned out to be the corpus luteum, which feeds the baby while the placenta forms, and all perfectly normal. Definitely speak to your doc for reassurance but the people who saw me, from the very start, didn't think stabbing pains alone would indicate an ectopic pregnancy.

Funnily enough I have been on google all morning about the same subject - mine isn't a stabbing pain more like dull ache and twinges - on the right side

Everything I've read suggests odds are it is something completely benign and normal for early pregnancy

My last pregnancy was an ectopic though on the left which did rupture so I'm very scared about the possibility of losing my remaining tube - but I didn't start to get pains until over 6 weeks - the ectopic pain was horrendous - and this isn't the same as that. I have an early scan next week due to my history so just got to keep sane until then x

I had this at 5wks and thought the same ,my pain was really bad went on for 2wks.i got scans & everything was fine, im 11 wks now and still have had it the odd day. I got told it was things stretching and body changing.
If your worried id go get it checked or if it gets worse or if u start to feel ill x
