Feeling Foolish

My period was really late and yesterday I developed severe pains on the right side. I have a history of ectopic pregnancy so of course that was in the back of my mind. Today I couldn't stay at work because of the pain and discomfort just on my right side. So I spoke to a nurse and she agreed I could get a blood test done to rule out pregnancy. As I sit here waiting for the results, wouldn't you know it, I get my period. Nice. Now I feel foolish for not just waiting it out. At least now I know that it's just a cyst rupturing and nothing more. I'm going to feel really stupid when they actually call me. Oh well.

Ahhhh-don't feel foolish!! If you have a history of ectopic pregnancy then you had a reason to wonder. I'm sure the dr see this alot.
Feel better

Don't feel foolish Here4Health. You had every reason to be concerned. It would have been more foolish to find out during your pre-op tests. I hope your pain is better. ((hugs))

They give you a pregnancy test during pre-op, or at least they did with me. Quite funny when you are 52 years old!

No worries it's always better safe than sorry.

My DH also thought it was funny for my doc to ask if I was sure I didn't plan to have more children...with 4 grown and out of the house he was like "we are REALLY sure"
