Why do I have severe pain in lower abdomen having undergone IUI?
Patient: hi doctor, i had a positive pregnancy test with IUI done and then visited doc so she confirmed it as 6 1/2weeks and in scan they told single intrauterine gestation , and no evidence of gestational sac yet so repeat scan again after 2 weeks ............. then on the 7 weeks day i have very severe pain in my lower abdomen and consullted doc ... they scanned and confirmed it was ectopic pregancy in the left tube and got ruptured so they went for emergency abortion ............    now my doubt is what abt the one declared in 1st scan single intrauterine gestation ...... was i having twins ........ one went to uterus and was the other in the left tube ................ plz confirm and tell me whether i am still pregnant with a baby in my uterus or no ???   Thanx in Advance Doctor: welcome to Health care magic.1.Even the first scan didn't say that you have a line fetal pole or cardiac activity - as by 6 1/5 weeks one should see them. But not seen - it could be just a collection or blighten ovum. 2.And in procedures like IUI there are many  chances of twin pregnancy also, you said you had underwent emergency abortion was done, no scan was done at that time. 3.If not done , to get your mind free, you can get a ultrasound scan get done which will gives you a peace of mind.4.Get an appointment and get the scan done.5.Hope it helps you.Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
