Does A Dull Ache In Groin Suggest Ectopic Pregnancy?
Hi I'm a female, I just turned 21. I'm 5'3'' and about 160 pounds. I've had a dull ache off and on for about a week and a half. It's located about 6 ot 7 inches underneath my belly in the groin area right near the crease by my thigh. I had some spotting for the past two days of what I thought was a period but it stopped. A friend of mine had an ectopic pregnancy and told me today she thinks that's what is going on with me. If that is the situation, how urgent is it that I be seen? Would that render an emergency visit right now? Or could that wait until a doctor's exam tomorrow after work?
