ectopic pregnancy and stomach cramps

incilpus · Guest

I have an interesting situation and any help would be greatly appreciated. I had my last "regular" period on April 14, and had unprotected sex on May 5 and 6. I took Plan B on the 7th. On May 13 i thought that i was having my period, it was a bit lighter and my cramps were a little more intense. i took a hpt today (may 21) and the result was negative but i still have cramps, both in my abdominal and stomach area...is there any explanation for these cramps? Also, would there be a positive or negactive result on a hpt if a pregnancy was ectopic?

According to everything you said, this sounds like the ectopic pregnancy, but lets not rush with the conclusions. You check it out with your gynecologist. The symptoms you have are the ones that occur when you have the ectopic pregnancy, for example you can feel the abdominal or pelvic pain, a missed period and all the signs of the early pregnancy. You also experienced the vaginal bleeding which was not your regular period and this is also one of the symptoms. Have you experienced dizziness, fainting, weakness or vomiting?
If you have all of these symptoms, you should go see your doctor and go have the ultrasound done so that you can be sure what is going on there inside or outside the uterus.
My friend also had the ectopic pregnancy and she missed her period, when she did the pregnancy test it showed a negative result, it just didn’t detect the pregnancy even if it was outside the uterus.
Hang in there and wish you luck with all this.

In October I had unprotected sex. A few days after I started my period but it wasnt normal at all it was very light. In November the same thing happen except my period was even lighter. In December I didnt even have one. So I have taken a home pregnancy test and it says negative but I have all the symptoms, Nausea, Back hurts, Moody, Headaches. And I am starting to see a change in my body. I have stomach cramps and my boobs are growing. But this morning when I got up and used the bathroom there was blood again very light. Could this be my period or am I pregnant and its just not showing on the home pregnancy test? And why am I still having light periods if I am pregnant?

I have had two ectopic pregnancies, the last one being the worst. The doctors could not see a baby in the ultrasound and I was bleeding and cramping, they told me i was miscarrying. They told me it was not ectopic. A couple weeks later, still pregant, same problems, they told me I must be pregant again and miscarrying again, I told them impossible but they insisted, finally after 3.5 mos pregant the pregnancy ruptured in the upper part of my tube and I had a great amount of internal bleeding and had to have emergency surgery to remove the tube and blood tranfusion, a very traumatic and painful experience. Please anyone who may think they have ectopic pregnancy, it is very serious and insist that doc check it out, if they wont, find one who will before it is too late. All the stories on here are greatly appreciated and give me great hope. Thanks everyone. Smile
