Symptoms of ectopic?

Hello

im 6 + 3 and have intermittent pain in my right groin (feels like toothache) and in my back and have been having loose stools.

i know these can all be normal symptoms in first trimester, but also can be symptoms of an ectopic. I’ve got a GP appointment in an hour.

can anyone tell me about the symptoms they had with their ectopic pregnancies? And when?

thank you 🥺

Everything seemed fine until around 7 weeks when I got brown spotting, to pink, to lots of bright red blood like a period. EPU said it was likely a miscarriage and they did a transvaginal scan where my uterine lining was very thin and no baby to be found. :(
A couple weeks later I collapsed from intense pain and my husband rushed me to A&E. It was ectopic...

If you sit down on the floor cross-legged and feel like you're sitting on a knife, it's likely ectopic! I thought this was a weird miscarriage related symptom but nope. Sorry for the graphic description 🙈

GP won’t be able to do much, you need to go to EPAU

Did you have a scan?
The only way to diagnose an ectopic is to have an internal scan to be sure.
I didn't know for a while and I was celebrating my pregnancy, I had no symptoms at all until excruciating pain in the night then it disappeared for about a week and no pain.
It was only in the ultrasound about 2 weeks after they discovered an ectopic in my tube.
