Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

As I have asked you before(on Nov 28th) about my back pain...you had adviced me to take rest for few days. We are TTC for the past two months.

I am suffering from lower back pain on the left side.
That time I had back pain just on Nov 28th and 29th and it was gone. I was getting egg white mucous on those days. We had intercourse on 30th.

From my BBT chart, I ovulated on Dec 1st.
After that my back ache was gone and again it came on Dec 8th. Dec 9th it was very severe. I could not sit in my chair. I thought walking will help...but it made things worse. I took full bed rest on Dec 10th.

But yesterday Dec 11th it is again worse.
I was unable to sit in the office. I applied amrutanjan and in the night I applied some pain relief patch. With the patch I got some relief but today again I am feeling back ache.

The back pain is concentrated on left side of my lower back. I can feel some thing like a swollen nerve. As I am unable to bear the pain, I am planning to visit the doctor. Shall I get an X-ray done?
Do you think I have some fibroid or some other problem?

I read on the net and they say ectopic pregnancy or fibroid can cause this sort of pain? I am really worried. Can you kindly let me know what you think about this situation?

I am unable to take any rest also as I have to sit in the office from morning 8 to evening 6 or 7 :-(

Thank you very much in advance

Ramya ramya replied. Thanks archie for replying..I will try to take rest... archie replied. you meant swollen vessel not nerve. You could go for mild oil massage and warm showers.
NO X-ray if you ttc, until you finish this cycel.
does not sound like ectopic pregnancy though we can't say much until you miss period and have it confirmed.
Take good rest if you can.
In next 3 days if pain does not subside take a pregancy test towards the weekend and choose to see Dr. thereafter.
