What Causes Lower Abdominal Pain And Loss Of Appetite In A Pregnant Woman?

I am 30 years old and just tested postive on my pregnancy test a week ago. I'm assuming I am around 5 weeks pregnant. For the last week now I've been experiencing intense lower left abdominal pain and my stomach looks like I am much further along. My breasts are also extremely sore. Just two days ago I began getting dull shoulder pain also on my left side which is getting worse. I have lost my appetite and I am now having extreme chills but no fever. I am also not showing any signs of vaginal discharge or bleeding. Could this be a ectopic pregnancy?
