Re: Is this normal?
I’m so sorry you’ve suffered this ectopic loss and pregnancy. I know it can leave us with many questions and sensations and I will do my very best to help.
Many women experience discomfort after experiencing ectopic pregnancy and it can be a scary time. The pain could be for a number of reasons. It could be due to adhesions or scar tissue that form as part of your recovery. It could be as a result of ovulation pains (many women feel this when they hadn't before including myself). It may also be heightened awareness after everything you have endured or possibly an infection. You may want to ask if Doctors have checked for infection and you may want to ask for a test to be on the safe side.
It is good to be aware of these pains and that you have reached out to your GP for assistance. You could keep a pain diary, noting when the pain starts, when and where you experience pain and the intensity. You could also write down anything that helps the pain including paracetamol, rest, hot water bottle etc and you could discuss your notes with your doctors. These details would help them determine how best manage your symptoms.
With good wishes,
Michele
