I am trying this reply again.
I called the drs. office on Friday 5 times. Today i have called 4
times now. Each time I get the same answer. "A nurse will call you
back soon. I just paged her for you." The pain is getting worse as the
days go by and I don't know what to do. Yes. The dr. did a blood
pregnancy test on Wednesday. I wish I knew what to do. Should I
continue to play the waiting game? Should I ask to speak with the Dr.
directly to get answers.
Thank you for all your help,
Jolene

>>>I went to the dr. Wednesday. now I am really scared. He said it was probably an ectopic pregnancy. My questions are should I continue taking my BC pills or should I stop? And, what are the symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy and if it ruptures what are those symptoms? And could I just be pregnant maybe a little less than thought?
