ovary pains?

Question

im almost a month pregnant and i was wondering if during this time is it normal to catch sharp pains in your ovaries???

Answer 1

you may have cystic fibrosis go to your doctor asap and ask for an ultra sound to "see" if you have them

Answer 2

I used to have ovary pain every month; it was a dull ache that lasted a few days. I read somewhere that some women could feel their eggs being released and that's what caused the pain. It even has a name, some German word I can't spell like mittleschmerz or something close. My daughter had the same thing.

But it never happened when I was pregnant.

Go see your doctor.

Answer 3

I remember getting pains in the beggining. I had a period in fact so it may just be your body suppressing that natural response to have your period. I know that when your around 3-4 months, you can get pains that run up your belly from your pubic line on either side of your pelvic area. I had these. They are your ligaments stretching & they hurt like hell. Your body is going through a lot of changes, physically & hormonally. Unless there's blood, I would not panic. You can call your Dr. in the am & ask if the pains are normal. They will probably tell you they are.

Answer 4

It is normal to feel pain in that area. I cramped a lot in the first several weeks. It felt awful and I kept thinking I would miscarry...(I feel the pain in my ovaries) If you are really worried call a Dr and speak with the nurse and they will tell you what you need to know...It may also be the uterous growing to accomodate the growing baby inside you...It feels a little painful when it does that

Answer 5

I am almost 2 months pregnant and have been having some sharp and some dull pains since before my period was due. My doctor assures me this is normal, but you should see your doctor to make sure that is normal for you too.

Answer 6

I'm not a Doctor but I don't believe so! This might mean that the egg was not in the little pouch thingy (sry it's like 3 in the morning so I can't remember the word at this momment in time) & the egg may have been fertilzed in the tubes & forming there? Your tubes don't stretch & will eventually bust/explode/ripe ... whatever word you perfer! I recomend you call your Doctor IMEDIATLY! This could be life threatening ... maybe not to you but the innocent child inside of you. So if you will not do it for your self do it for th health & safety of your conceiving baby.
I hope this helped

Sincerly,

Answer 7

First, take a deep breath. I have had four babies, and every different thing that happened would send me into a panic. I would jump on the internet, or research it in a book. You probably are experiencing literal "growing pains", and it is probably nothing to worry about at all. If you are still concerned after a few days, or so, contact your doctor, and he/she should be able to give you an ultrasound or some other information to calm your fears and show you everything is probably fine...Best wishes on your pregnancy!

Answer 8

Could be normal. It takes a few weeks for the embryo to migrate through the tube and find a good position in the uterus. However, if the pain continues or gets worse, call your doc, as you may have a tubal pregnancy.
All the Best to you!!

Answer 9

abslutly not go to er ASAP. it could be a sign of etopic pregnancy!!!
Ectopic pregnancies are usually discovered when a woman has symptoms at about six or seven weeks, though you may notice symptoms as early as four weeks. In some cases, there are no symptoms and the ectopic is discovered during a first trimester ultrasound.

Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person, and depending on how far along you are and whether the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured — a true obstetric emergency. To prevent rupture, it's critical to get diagnosed and treated as soon as there's even a hint of a problem, although sometimes rupture occurs without much advance warning. Ectopic pregnancies don't always register on home pregnancy tests, so if you suspect there's a problem, don't wait for a positive pregnancy test to contact your caregiver.

Call your practitioner immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:

• Abdominal or pelvic pain or tenderness. It can be sudden, persistent, and severe but may also be mild and intermittent early on. You may feel it only on one side, but the pain can be anywhere in your abdomen or pelvis and is sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

• Vaginal spotting or bleeding. If you're not sure you're pregnant yet, you may think you're getting a light period at first. The blood may look red or brown like the color of dried blood, and may be continuous or intermittent, heavy or light.

• Pain that gets worse when you're active or while moving your bowels or coughing.

• Shoulder pain. Cramping and bleeding can mean many things, but pain in your shoulder, particularly when you lie down, is a red flag for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and it's critical to get medical attention immediately. The cause of the pain is internal bleeding, which irritates nerves that go to your shoulder area.

• If a fallopian tube has ruptured, you may also have signs of shock, such as a weak, racing pulse; pale, clammy skin; and dizziness or fainting. In that case, call 911 without delay.

Ectopic pregnancy can be tricky to diagnose. If your symptoms suggest this type of pregnancy, your caregiver will do several tests to try to confirm the diagnosis:

• A blood test to check your level of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). If it's high enough to suggest pregnancy, but not as high as it should be at your stage, the pregnancy may be ectopic. If you're not in pain and there's still some question about the diagnosis, the test may be repeated in two to three days. If your hCG level doesn't increase as it's supposed to, this probably indicates either an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage.

• A vaginal exam. If the vaginal area is very tender or your caregiver detects a mass or an enlarged fallopian tube, an ectopic is likely the cause.

• An ultrasound. If the sonographer can see an embryo in the fallopian tube, you definitely have an ectopic pregnancy. But in most cases, the embryo will have died early in the process and be too small for the sonographer to find. Instead, she may notice that a fallopian tube is swollen, and may see blood clots as well as tissue that remains from the embryo.

If a pregnancy test is positive but the embryo (or evidence of an embryo) can't be found, you may have an ectopic pregnancy — but it's also possible that the pregnancy is still in the very early stages or that you have miscarried. As long as you're not in pain, your caregiver will continue to monitor you very closely through hormone tests and ultrasounds until she can confirm the diagnosis or your symptoms become more severe.

If the diagnosis remains unclear, your tubes may be examined more closely by using laparoscopic surgery, a procedure that may also be used to treat an ectopic pregnancy and remove the embryo (see below).

How is it treated?
That depends on how clear the diagnosis is, how big the embryo is, and what techniques are available.

If the pregnancy is clearly ectopic and the embryo is still relatively small, you may be given the drug methotrexate. The drug is injected into a muscle and reaches the embryo through your bloodstream, where it ends the pregnancy by stopping the cells of the placenta from growing. (Over time, the tiny embryo is reabsorbed into your body.) As the drug begins to work you may have some abdominal pain or cramps and possibly nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

You'll need to avoid alcohol and sex for a while, as well as any multivitamins or supplements that contain folic acid, which can interfere with the action of the methotrexate. And you'll need to come back in for blood testing to make sure that the pregnancy has really been terminated because it doesn't always work. If you experience any signs of rupture (such as severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or signs of shock) during this process, call 911 right away.

If you're too far along for methotrexate to be used, you're in severe pain or bleeding internally, or you're breastfeeding or have certain health conditions that make the medication a bad choice, you'll need surgery. (If you're bleeding heavily you may need a blood transfusion as well.)

If you're in stable condition and the embryo is small enough, it can be removed through a procedure called laparoscopic surgery. An ob-gyn can examine your tubes with a tiny camera inserted through a small cut in your navel and can often remove the embryo or remaining tissue while preserving your tube. (However, if there's extensive damage to the tube or you're bleeding profusely, the tube may need to be removed.) Laparoscopic surgery requires general anesthesia, special equipment, and a surgeon experienced in the technique, and you'll need about a week to recuperate.

In some cases — for example, if you have extensive scar tissue in the abdomen or heavy bleeding, or the embryo is too large — it may not be possible or expedient to use laparoscopic technology. If this is the case, you'll need major abdominal surgery. You'll be given general anesthesia and an ob-gyn will open your abdomen and remove the embryo. (As with laparoscopic surgery, your tube may be preserved or may need to be removed, depending on the situation.) Afterward, you'll need about six weeks to recuperate. You may feel bloated, and have abdominal pain or discomfort as you heal.

Note: If your blood is Rh-negative, you'll need a shot of Rh immunoglobulin after being treated for an ectopic pregnancy (unless the baby's father is also Rh negative).

Answer 10

I did when I was pregnant (4 x's) off and on. I just figured that there are alot of changes and growing going on down there it's bound to cause some discomfort. It was just an occasional crampy feeling like menstrual cramps without the mess. If it persists or gets worse you should call your dr and make sure all is ok.

Answer 11

Ask your doctor, any sharp pain is not normal by any means
