I am 5.5 weeks pregnant and yesterday I started to feel a very mild pain in my left shoulder. I got pregnant through IVF and at 14 days post retrieval I got my first beta, it was 338, 2 days later it was 912. I only got one embryo transfered. could my shoulder pain be due to an ectopic pregnancy?...im scared since I already had one ecopic back in 2004 and I remember the pain in my left shoulder was really bad. Could this mild pain be something else? Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

ASk for an u/s to make sure your lil bean(s) are in the uterus so you dont have to worry anymore. Your betas look like they are in the normal range and dont look crazy however, you never know if the baby can split. Did you do PGD with the embryo you transferred?
Hope you are feeling better and can see your lil baby in the uterus very soon!
