Thigh pain
I had an ectopic pregnancy and had methotrexate injection in July. My HCG levels went down to 0 in September. But since this I've had pain in on my right side, usually around the time of ovulation/period which can also go down my right thigh, nothing major just a dull ache. I've spoken to the doctor who says this is normal. But I'm wondering if others have experienced the same?

Re: Thigh pain
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
Pain around the time of ovulation can be quite common following ectopic pregnancy. Unfortunately I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on the pain radiating down to your thigh.
I certainly had sharp stabbing pains for many months following my ectopic pregnancy. If your pain continues or worsens, I would advise speaking to your GP again.
Sending much love,

Re: Thigh pain
I explained the pain I am feeling and the impact it is having on my life. He checked my stomach and said he cant feel anything, although based on what I said he thinks it may be an ovarian cyst which is causing the pain. He didnt really link it to the ectopic which I was very surprised by, didnt mention anything about potential adhesions etc, I did ask but he said given the length of time that's unlikely, but I feel it's a coincidence that I've been in pain constantly since the ectopic. Having never suffered with abdominal pain previously. But he also said that many women suffer with abdominal pain with no reason. I hope that there is a solution for me! I cant continue like this!
Hope you are feeling better today?

Re: Thigh pain
Thanks for the update!! I'm glad and hopeful that you will getting anwsers soon as to what is going on with you. What are they testing your blood for?? They said I had a cyst right by my etopic as well, according to the last scan I had it went away. I am still having pain, comes and goes. Im like you I never had stomach pain before this happened. I feel the same as you its just interrupting from daily life! I really just want this to be over so I can move on. I actually had a break down today, this whole thing is stressful. Goodluck on your scan ill be thinking about you, hope it all goes well! Are you going to be trying to convince again in the future?

Re: Thigh pain
I know exactly how you feel, it's impossible to move on when you are in constant pain. I regularly cry myself to sleep and have days where I'm so down I just lock myself away in the bathroom and cry. I'm generally a very resilient person and can spring back from very difficult things in my life, but this has really knocked me.
I would love to try again, but I'm terrified of this happening again. I had a miscarriage in September 2019 and then ectopic June 2020 so im feeling a bit drained by it all. Are you going to try again?

Re: Thigh pain
I also have a 7 year old son, so im blessed and lucky to have him, plus I am young enough to try again. It may just take us some time. I do find it hard as my partner would love another child, he doesnt put any pressure on me at all, but I just know. Hes an amazing dad to our son and I see him with new born babies. I worry that we will end up being a relationship so focused on having another child it will break us. Theres no sign of that at the moment, it's probably all in my head.
I keep researching the reasons for miscarriage and ectopic but I dont have any of the risk factors, I just never thought this would happen to me. I find it so confusing after having no issues with the birth of my son, to now be having problems?

Re: Thigh pain
But like you say God works in mysterious ways! I see many messages on here of women that have a baby after an ectopic, it seems hard to imagine for me right now, but I'm hopeful for us both two!

Re: Thigh pain
I'm not sure what we have in the UK, if I'm honest the treatment I've received has not been great and I think that is due to covid at the moment. I havent been monitored very closely or had anyone to talk to properly. I've been for my blood test today and will get the results next Monday.
This is a brilliant forum isnt it, its helped me so much, just having a conversation with you over this over recent weeks has made such a difference to me, so thank you
