Is It an Etopic Pregnancy?

I found out last week that I am 4 weeks pregnant. Last night I had some bad cramping. It was on the left side of my abdomen. Now when i woke up this morning, I have some brownish colored discharge. I thinking that something is wrong. I read one of my pregnancy book and they said it could be an ectopic pregnancy. HELP.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

I ended up going to the E.R. I am in the process of having a miscarriage. This is the second one in 6 months. I think alot of it has to do with me being on the depo shot after I had my daughter.

My sister had this and they told her that is was the implantation that was causing the blood and cramping it could happen for awhile. S.

You need to go to an urgent care center or emergancy room. None of us can know what's happening.

It's possible you are ok and that it's just a little spotting but if it's more you need to take care of yourself.

Call your OB-GYN. It's better to be cautious even if it's nothing than for it to be something very serious. I've been in your shoes and thoughts and prayers are with you . . .

Please...go to the ER today, or at least go to the labor/delivery unit of your hospital. At least they'll give you an ultrasound either way and if it turns out to be nothing...then great. But if it is something you want to find out asap. i hope you're already there by now..

It's possible. The pain from an ectopic, or tubal, pregnancy will continue to get worse and worse, and the bleeding will get heavier. You don't want to ignore this if you are still bleeding and cramping (especially since your pain is one-sided). You need to call your doctor's office and have their answering service page the OB on call. She can assess your symptoms over the phone and tell you whether to head for the ER. I am an ex-surgical nurse and I can tell you that I have seen more than 1 woman come in way too late...their tube already ruptured and the woman bleeding internally. Please take this seriously. On a lighter note, it's possible that this is something totally different. Just call your doc today. Good luck.

I had an ectopic pregnancy last year. I started bleeding before I got any cramping.It was also a darker brownish color. The only thing you will be able to do is get to the hospital, since few, if any, doctors will be in until the middle of nest week. You don't want to put off finding out for sure because if it is ectopic and you wait, you could end up rupturing your tube and then it is life threatening to you. I hope we are wrong and itis just a minor complication right now, but it does sound like the same symptoms I had with my ectopic pregnancy. I'm very sorry you are having to go through this because it is very scary and very hard. You can get wonderful support on this site. I did. I wish you the best of luck!

go to the ER now with out delay.

I of course, agree with all the ladies who advised you seek medical attention. I'm posting more in hopes that you will let us know how the appt. goes and send you positive vibes!
