I’m in pain, am very late and showing negative pregnancy result

Post by Travelbug1981 »

I’m 39, and have no children. Experienced my first ever pregnancy in September but sadly it was ectopic; this led to removal of my right HS Fallopian tube via surgery. The main change was having painful periods as my cycle went back to 26 days. So at month three my partner and started to try again ...

I’m now late and in pain. Despite being late (31 days)... I’ve had 3 negative results. However for 10 days now I’ve been in terrible pain. First in the middle then it shifted to the right, now it’s headed to the left. Three days ago it was so bad (after a long walk) so I went to “out of hours” doctor (they checked for suspected appendix issue).

As my pregnancy test was negative and my pain was RHS she sent me home with paracetamol.

Now fours days on... I’m still in terrible pain and pain is now left hand side. Still no period! ... I’ll call GP in the morning but no one is helping me and I’m so scared it’s another ectopic (but this time not showing positive on test )?... has anyone had this or have advice? I’m really worried. Thank you ...

Dear Travelbug1981,
I am so sorry to hear of the worrying time you are going through.
Unfortunately I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your symptoms and as pain is so subjective, it is difficult to asses on forums such as this. I would therefore strongly advise to speak to your GP. Sadly I do have to remind you to seek urgent medical advice if you experience any worsening pain, unusual bleeding, shoulder tip pain or feel dizzy and unwell.
Sending much love,
Karen x
