Passed a decidual cast, pregnancy test positive, Ectopic pregnancy??

By <name>/u/itchytreeleaf</name><uri>https://old.reddit.com/user/itchytreeleaf</uri>

Hi sorry for this ramble but I’m currently freaking out. I have a copper IUD (3 years old) and am NOT trying to be pregnant (bf and I both got laid off this summer) My period was late for 2-3 weeks then i started spotting for 2-3 weeks (which i thought was just a late and light period). This morning I believe I passed a decidual cast and I was pretty concerned because it was painful but the pain was gone pretty quickly after passing. From there on it just seemed the spotting turned into just my regular heavy period and cramps. Then I didnt think too much of it, thought it was just stress. Just now I took a pregnancy test in case and it’s positive. Like very dark line positive. I’m freaking out in the case that I might be basically 8 weeks with an ectopic pregnancy?? I’m going to try to walk into a hospital or planned parenthood hood tmr since most scheduling appts aren’t available for the next week or so. I’m also just freaking out because I have a bunch of interviews coming up this week. I’m not familiar with ectopic pregnancies so I’m freaking out that I might rupture any moment?? Some websites are telling me to call 911 NOW if i suspect it’s ectopic, but I’m not in any pain so should I just wait until tomorrow? Sorry for the ramble, any advice from anyone who might have a better understanding or just any support would be great submitted by /u/itchytreeleaf [link] [comments]
