Pregnant with endometriosis--help!

I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing some minor stabbing pain for the past couple of days on the right side of my uterus.  I have endometriosis and am wondering if this kind of pain is normal in women who are pregnant and have endometriosis.  My only other option, it seems, is that I have an ectopic pregnancy.  I'm trying to get all the information I can before I go to urgent care to get an ultrasound, or really start to panic.

If it is minor and one on side it could be your Corpus lutuem. My felt kind of like mild sharp pain until it disappeared sometime in week 6.

I have endometriosis and am about 5 weeks along as well! I too have been experiencing some stabbing pains and also some mild cramping. It makes me very nervous. I don't remember having this with my first, but that was 8 years ago and completely unexpected! From what I have been reading though, cramping and pains can all be pretty much normal, as long as it isn't moderate-severe and goes away within minutes. If it is and doesnt, I would definitely be heading into the doctor. GL!

When I was 5 weeks along I was having some pains on my lower left side, but I was also diagnosed with an endometrial cyst 10 months earlier...so I'm assuming its still there and just causing pain.

I found a lot of stretching and moving down there that early on, so I think its all normal.

I havn't felt the pain since and I'm almost 11 weeks along...but I know the cyst is still there...

Perhaps you could have a cyst on your ovary? They are harmless during pregnancy for the most part!
