Nipping/pinching feeling on left side

Hello, I'm currently 5+6 and have got a scan at our local EPU on Friday after having two early miscarriages. Since last night, I've noticed a nipping/pinching feeling on my left side (I'm guessing around my ovary). It's not painful but I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had the same? Is it stretching/round ligament pain?
Thank you x

I had the same, it was actually quite unpleasant in my case. I ended up having a scan at the EPU because I also had bleeding (unrelated) and they saw that I had a cyst on my left ovary. They said nothing to worry about unless it gets properly painful. The discomfort went away I think around 8 weeks. I also had lots of period type cramping that worried me but my midwife said it's round ligament pain.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and hope it continues to go well for you! X

Thank you, these early weeks are awful - I'm a nervous wreck! I've also had a lot of cramps but that could also be the progesterone I'm on

Sorry to jump on the thread . Just wondering how 9422x you have got on ? :) I have experience of early losses too and I am on progesterone. I have had lots of cramps and sure it is related to this. Just wanted to see how you are? I am 5 weeks pregnant too.

I went on to have a scan at 6 weeks where they said I'd ovulated from my right hand side so no idea what it was. I did find the early weeks I was a lot more crampy compared to previous pregnancies whilst on progesterone. Currently almost 20 weeks and so thankful to have made it this far.

Thank you so much for replying. It is my first time using this forum and I really appreciate it. So happy for you and congratulations as I honestly know how hard it is. I am very anxious. The cramps seem to come and go but just trying to drink as much water as I can and stay relaxed. It really helps to hear other people’s stories
