Ectopic (Tubal) Pregnancy ?
I found out that I'm pregnant just three days ago, I went to the local community pregnancy center and they gave me an ultrasound....but they didnt see anything..nothing! we seen my bladder, and my uterus, muscles..but no sack, no baby. I have only had sex twice in the past two months..so I could either be..9 weeks...or 6 weeks. Which an ultrasound can still pick up.
Then they said I might have a Tublar Pregnancy. All day today I have been lightheaded, for the past week I've had sharp pains in my stomch and lower abdominal. Which are the symtoms of this...will someone who has been through this please talk to me???

Hey there - I'll catch you on messenger - but yes - it could be tubal. Its far more likely that you are 6 weeks and its just not showing yet. About 20% of women who are 6 weeks can't yet be seen on ultrasound - so its easy thats you. If the pain gets really bad, or you start bleeding a lot of bright blood, go to the ER.
You need to see another gynecologist. You could very well have a tubal pregnancy but first did you have a pregnancy blood test or home urine test? What did they tell you to do when they said it may be a tubal pregnancy? That should of showed up on the sonar. I had a tubal pregnancy that ruptured, but my period was a few days late and a home pregnancy test was negative, then I bled lightly a few days after that so I dismissed the thought of being pregnant. Then, approx. 5 weeks later I had severe abd. pain, dizziness, went to ER and they found a tubal pregnancy that ruptured before they operated on me. I'm not trying to scare you, just make sure its not a tubal, get another opinion if you have to.
It's way too early for you to have an ultrasound, anyway.
Sometimes, the baby will go OUTSIDE of the uterus, because it plunges deep into the uterus's folds. But other times, the baby won't make the full departure into the uterus, and the woman could suffer severe hemmorraging that could result in death. I suggest you see a doctor.
I have not been through this but I know someone who has. An ultrasound should have picked it up for sure. Sounds like you might have a tubal pregnancy and your body may try to pass it which explains the pains.

this is very serious.
when you start to feel pain, you MUST GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM - no questions asked.
I have not been through it, but my best friends relative has. She started to haemorage and was rushed to hospital. They had to operate, and of course she lost her baby. She also lost the tube that the egg had implanted itself in.
I am sorry i do not mean to scare you. But it is the reality of the situation. You had best stay in close contact with your doctor, so that if it is true that you have an ectopic pregnancy, you can get the treatment for it as fast as you can.
