Bad pain in early pregnancy

Im 6 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having really strong pain in my pelvis, it’s worse than period pain and it’s making me feel really weak and sick; I’ve also had cramping in my leg like I have a trapped nerve. I’ve been to the doctors thinking it could be an ectopic but they ruled that out by feeling my pelvis. Has anyone else had these pains and how long do they last for? I’m so concerned this is only the beginning and the baby is only tiny! Will the pain get worse further on?

Hi, I experienced awful pain when I was pregnant, I stopped taking my pain meds as didn’t want to harm baby in early pregnancy and couldn’t cope and ended up being admitted to hsp and given strong pain meds there. I asked why I was having a flare as it is said that pregnancy is supposed to help endo, the doctor told me that she had seen a lot of endo suffers who are pregnant struggle with flares in the first trimester and for most it settles down after then. Not sure if that is true or not. I just wanted to send you lots of hugs and hope the flare goes away soon, first trimester is tough enough without an endo flare on top of it. Lots of love xxxx

I struggled with pain a lot during pregnancy. Unfortunately I was told it's because of the amount of damage in there! Sending you all the love /healing vibes!
