This weekend I had a really sharp pain inside my left hip (the same side I ovulated from) and then had it again this morning. When I experienced it this morning it was really intense, to the point where I couldn't get comfortable and was unable to take deep breaths, and it lasted a little over an hour. I tried to ignore it but after it had been gone for a few hours I decided that I should probably go ahead and call my RE's office. Sure enough, after talking to the nurse and having the nurse call me back after talking to the doctor, they would like to see me first thing tomorrow morning.
My concern is that it could potentially be ectopic. I asked the nurse if she believed that that would also be the concern. Fortunately she said that it's most likely too early for a pregnancy to be large enough to cause pain if it is in my tube and often times ectopic pregnancies are accompanied by consistent spotting and dizziness. I'm not spotting, nor am I dizzy... However, I'm still exhausted! The nurse said that what I'm most likely experiencing is ovary pain, possibly caused by a cyst or enlargement for some reason.
I'm going in at 7:30 for blood work. Based on what I've read online (I know, I probably shouldn't have googled) my HCG level would be too low for this stage if it was ectopic. I'm also having an ultrasound following my blood draw and will hopefully have the results of my blood test by the time my ultrasound is done. My husband is suppose to work tomorrow but I'm hoping he can sneak away for the ultrasound. I would really hate for him to miss our first ultrasound and I also want him there for two reasons. Without him I think it's kind of sad and depressing, plus I would like him there just incase it isn't good news... I'm trying not to worry and hoping that I sleep well and tomorrow morning comes quickly!
