Pain over left ovary, 6+4 weeks pregnant

I would call the GP and ask to be referred to the early pregnancy unit. Have you had any bleeding?

To put your mind at ease, I had this as well and so could be growing pains. But if it’s really bad don’t be afraid to get it checked. X

I had this at about 10/11 weeks pregnant, and when I called my midwife she arranged for me to get an emergency scan at the maternity unit to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. Was all fine in the end luckily and I was a little further along than you are right now but it doesn't sound right when they say they can't provide care until 14 weeks!

I had one sided pains from 5 weeks. As others have said you need to call your GP and get referred to EPAC to rule out an ectopic. They will scan you from 6 weeks. Mine wasn’t an ectopic but I had a large cyst on my ovary. Quite common in pregnancy and most of them (including mine) tend to shrink after 12ish weeks. I had 2 weekly scans until then. 1st pregnancy they were massive 8-10cm, 2nd pregnancy they were much smaller 5-6cm, felt both.

thank you for commenting! No bleeding or any sign anything could be wrong, and the pain isn’t even really that bad but it’s definitely there. I’ve asked my GP for a referral, hoping they get back to me soon. I’m so glad to hear you had something similar and it was just growing pains. I don’t care about having pain as long as I know baby is okay 😞

thank you so much for commenting with your experience. It’s so difficult to find any reliable information online about this stuff, I didn’t even know cysts could cause this! I’ve had cysts in the past so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case for me. Have contacted the GP and asked for a referral to the EPU to rule out an ectopic, just hoping they get back to me soon 🤞🏼

thank you for commenting with your experience! I’ve contacted my GP and asked for a referral to the EPU now. I know, I couldn’t believe it..! It’s already hard enough knowing who to go to for pregnancy related queries, feeling like the midwives aren’t even an option until 14 weeks is not nice!

Thank you so much for the advice ladies! My GP managed to get me an appointment with the EPU today and I’ve been seen and baby is exactly where it’s supposed to be and exactly the right size! My ovaries are fine also, no cysts. Just being checked for a UTI now to see if that’s the culprit. Overall no issues or concerns with my pregnancy, I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome 🥰❤️
