I'm 3.5 wks pregnant. I have a short cycle (25-27 days) and things have been unreliable as I'm perimenopausal. Anyhow, suspected pregnancy, tested before a missed period and tested positive. Have arranged a medical abortion by post.
Over the phone the nurse quizzed me about the length of my cycles and why I tested so early. They seemed satisfied with my length of cycle and lack of other ectopic symptoms and I'm now waiting for the pills.
However, since then, I've become paranoid. I am getting cramping now which I expected (I have 2 children and had 4 MCs) so I'm familiar with the early feelings. But... Since they quizzed me I've been looking at my dates, when I might have ovulated, conceived and what that means about when implantation would have happened... It does seem like a really short time frame.
I'm now being super vigilant about the cramping... Wondering if I'm imagining where it's localised. And it doesn't seem one sided. But I'm scared about the time frames of things.
I'm just looking for some reassurance. Would ectopic be more obviously one sided? Would there be any doubt? I have no other ectopic symptoms. I really would rather avoid having to go for a scan, it's half term, I have my children and it would be complicated to arrange this but... I'm just worried.
