TW ectopic
Hello first time poster here!

I am testing 4 weeks pregnant today, age 28. For the past three days I have had constipation which has now passed but today I have been experiencing bad shooting pains in my left side groin with pressing feeling and shooting pains down my left leg. Is this normal?

I initially put the pains down to IBS and it does hurt if I push sometimes sorry tmi.

I’ve done an econsult to get in touch with my doctor as I am away on holiday and absolutely panicking it’s ectopic. No blood but lots of water discharge feeling like I need a wee a lot. Boobs don’t hurt, bit nauseous.

Had a miscarriage in feb, with an empty sac so naturally I’m v anxious.

My lines on the easy@home look ok, they are getting darker. Done a lot of lurking on forums but nothing specific to my problem lol

Firstly congratulations on your bfp 🥰

I had a ectopic back in 2023, my symptoms was bleeding, really really bad back pain that wouldn't go away and pains shooting into my rectum. Also when I first got a bfp my tests was positive then negative then positive again.

I'm currently 4+5 and have a nice hcg rise. mild period type cramps on and off and the odd achy leg but that's all normal just our bodies adjusting making changes.

I hope this gives you some reassurance but if your pains too consistent and painful no harm in getting checked out.

Sending lots of positivity xxx

@Rubyrubyrubyruby1234 thank you!

I totally get the anxiety I also had a early loss last year so I've been a women possessed with poas! I was lucky to get my bloods done to keep a eye on the hcg so that's helped loads.

Mine are just random come and go would t say consistsnt sometimes can feel abit sharp and then eases xx
