Period pains and stabbing pains right side abdomen?

Question

I am 4 weeks pregnant and yesterday had dull aching periods pains until late afternoon when i got stabbing pains in the right side of my abdomen. Went to emergency Dr as they thought it might be appendicitis. Got assessed at surgical unit and they said they didn't think it was. Had vaginal exam which showed my cervix was closed therefore he didn't think it was a miscarriage and it is too early for an ectopic. Today the early pregnancy unit has phoned me to ask me to go and have Hcg blood test today, wed and thurs to see if hormone levels are dropping - indicating a miscarriage. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this pain and what symptons would present if it was a miscarriage. Also wondered how long it would take for my hormone levels to drop if i had a miscarriage. Can't understand because i haven't had any bleeding. Don't know what other causes would result in such sharp stabbing pains. please help im so anxious.

Answer 2

The pain in the back and abdomen is not good especially if you are prego.  That happened to me.  If your hormone levels are dropping they will give you progesterone to help you carry the baby.  If the babies hormones are dropping there is nothing they can do.  You will miscarriage.  That happened to me.  I miscarried the day before mother's day 2008.  They will take some blood to see if and how fast the levels are dropping.  They told me I would miscarry in ten days and it took 48 hours. I had multiple polyps and a fiborid which was making it impossible for the baby to grow b/c there was obstruction in the uterus.  I had that removed and now I am trying again.
