Worried About Ectopic Pregnancy Posted: 12-01-04 19:08pm
I really need someone's help. My name's
cassie and i'm 15. I think I am almost 6
weeks pregnant...But I think it's an
ectopic pregnancy.I feel absolutely
horrible ,and i'm going insane trying to
think of what to do.
Okay ,i'm just going to start from the
begining.
If i'm pregnant then I concived on october
30th.We used protection ,so I didn't think
anything of it.After that ,over the month
of november , i've drank alcohol (smirnoff
twisted and bud light if that's of any
importance) ,smoked weed (3 days in a row
if that matters) and cigarettes(close to
half a pack a day) ,and (i don't know if
im being obsessivly paranoid here) went on
those rides the flip you upside down and
spin you in circles.
I swear I had no clue I might be pregnant
until two weeks ago when I missed my
period.And i've only smoked 2 cigarettes
since then.I know I shouldn't have smoked
at all the second I missed my period ,but
it was hard.
Okay ,well after I missed my period ,i
decided to wait a week to see if it was
just late. But I started having these
sharp ,unbearable shooting pains on the
left side of my stomach about 6 inches
below my breast.At first I thought nothing
of it ,but it continued.
So I started checking around and I read
the severe pain like that is a sign of an
ectopic pregnancy. That really scared me
because my mom had a history of ectopics
and miscarriages before I was born. (are
ectopics hereditery?)
but the thing is ,this past monday and
tuesday ,i took two pregnancy tests ,and
both came out negative.
So ,if anyone has any idea what's going on
,or if anyone has experienced anything
similar , please please let me know.
Would it be safe for me to wait another
week before I go to the doctors?Because
maybe my period is just late ,and I really
don't want to upset my dad and have to go
to the doctors if there's nothing to worry
about.
And , is there even the slightest chance
that maybe it's not an eptopic pregnancy?
Is it possible that I might be pregnant
but everything is fine? Like , maybe my
hcg levels are still to low to detect?
I'm sorry this is so long , but i'm just
so worried and so scared , anyone who has
any kind of information ,please e-mail me.

Ectopic Pregnancy Posted: 12-13-04 01:01am
If you have an ectopic pregancy it needs
to be delt with asap I had one in sept
this year I didn't even know I was
pregnant it was first diagnosed as
appendicitis. Than ovarian cyst. Their
is a lot of symptoms and warning signs for
ectopic pregancies I found a site that has
great forum that discusses everything
about ectopics and the web site is www.Ectopic.Org you
should find helpful information here. It
lists warning signs and symptoms and it
also has a discusssion board where you can
ask for detailed information. I have
found it to be quite great about
information. They way they found my
ectopic was through doing a series of beta
hcg counts every 48 hours to monitor the
rise in hcg levels untill the levels and
transvagianal ultrasounds. After your
beta hcg levels reach greater than 1500
they should be able to see it the sac is
in the uterus or not. Along with the rise
in beta hcg levels (blood work) they say
your beta hcg levels should double or
almost double every 48-72hrs in a normal
pregnancy if they don't then they start
evealuating the possiblility of ectopic
pregnancy or something else.
