Good day everyone.

I am a nursing student. My ultimate goal is to be a travel nurse.

I am happily married for over 12 years and have 3 children: ages 6, 4, and 2. Family is the most important thing in the world and I want to help families work out problems so they do not have to be torn apart.

If your family is as important to you as mine is to me, get the help you need. If you do not like my advice, I respect that but look for someone that works for your needs.

Your family is worth it!

You answered my question a couple days ago about my concern for my uterus, How could that be an ectopic pregnancy? (link)
Certainly given I am not a medical doctor I cannot really give you a great medical answer to this question. I can only tell you what I know...

An ectopic pregnancy can, from what I have heard from women I know who have experienced one, be very painful. It can cause vaginal bleeding similar to either a period or another type of miscarriage. Especially if it goes untreated and it ruptures a fallopian tube, this can cause terrible pain. I suggested this as a possibility to your uterine discomfort given I assume you aren't 100 percent certain it is your uterus but rather somewhere in the vicinity of your female reproductive organs.

If this continues or is getting worse, please seek medical attention. I cannot begin to tell you what it is but it would be prudent to find out what it is before it potentially becomes something bad.

Here is a link to a very reputable website for the Mayo Clinic. It gives good information on ectopic pregnancies.

Best of luck.
