Q. I have an IUD in and lately I have been having spotting in between my periods and for the past couple days I have been having a sharp stabbing pain on my left lower abdomen that comes and goes. Does this sound like an ectopic pregnancy or am I over reacting?
I didnt have it put in recently. I had it put in over a year and a half ago.

A. Though you would not think so with you having the IUD But It could be possible,especially regarding the pain in your lower left abdomen..this could be an ectopic pregnancy in your left fallopian tube.
Sometimes,depending on how far the pregnancy is developed,the actual embryo can come away with a bleed naturally and this is far more common occurrence than we think.
Sometimes however they can require surgical removal,often in emergency,as if left an ectopic pregnancy can have quite serious consequences.
Mother nature plays many tricks on us and the trouble is that many symptoms associated with pregnancies ectopic or otherwise,can also be easily compaired to the symptoms of your periods so can easily be confusing..So while I wouldn't worry too much,see if these pains pass over the next few days but if they worsen at all then seek medical help as soon you can.
Hope you feel better real soon,Good Luck! xxx

How do you know if your having an ectopic pregnancy?
Q. how do you know if your having an ectopic pregnancy if you have a negative pregnancy test but you miss your period and have been nauseous, vomiting, and pain on one side of your lower abdomen.
A. There are at least three reasons I can think of off the top of my head.
Ectopic pregnancy
Appendicitis if on right side
Ovarian cyst
The best thing for you to do is to go to the doctor and get checked out. Ectopic pregnancies are dangerous, but many of them miscarry without help, and you'd have to be several weeks into pregnancy for one to rupture, aka, life-threatening. You will need to get it removed if it's found, either via medication or surgery.
I've had appendicitis, and the symptoms for that tend to get worse over time, and don't let up. If you have pain that gets worse over time, you have some cause for concern. This can be appendicitis, cyst, ectopic preg, etc.
Ovarian cysts... I've had a few. They suck; most of them are benign. Most of them either resolve within 1-3 months, or you have a doctor remove them due to health risks, or they burst. Which has some risks, but honestly, it's not terribly life-threatening, as long as you're not showing signs of infection. It just hurts like a bear. You will want to get them looked at, and track them, and REST when you feel in pain (it will get worse if you don't), but they're generally not a huge deal if you know what's going on with them. You may need surgery to remove them, as there are risks to your ovary and your innards in general. Laparoscopy is better than the traditional surgery, btw, for any of these procedures.
Good luck. Get it checked out, but until you have cause to worry, don't. Relaxing makes it better.

Will nipples get larger and darker in an ectopic pregnancy?
Q. I have been paranoid my pregnancy is Ectopic, but my nipples have gotten darker and larger over the last few days. Is this a good sign or will that happen in an Ectopic pregnancy as well?
A. Why do you think your having an ectopic pregnancy? Anyway if you were you would get all the normal symptoms but a lot of pain in one side of the abdomen, usually it has to be removed as soon as it's discovered. But yes your nipples would get as dark and as large as if you had a healthy pregnancy.
