Your pain could be related to implantation, if you are indeed pregnant. If it has been at least two weeks after a missed period, I would see your doctor to get a blood pregnancy test done, as this is the most accurate way of testing.

Unfortunaltley i woun't be able to see the doctor until november,
because i don't have insurance right now. Can I wait that long?
I am also worried that it could have ectopic pregnancy, because
of the sharp pain. Am i too worried? thanks julia

An early ectopic pregnancy can have symptoms such as a regular pregnancy including a missed period, tender breasts, fatigue, nausea, and increased urination. As it progresses, other symptoms develop including abdominal or pelvic pain that may occur sharply on one side at first and then spread throughout the pelvic region, pain with intercourse, dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting (syncope) caused by internal bleeding, and shoulder pain caused by bleeding into the abdomen under the diaphragm. If left untreated, a tubal ectopic pregnancy can cause fallopian tube damage and life-threatening blood loss. If you feel this matches your symptoms, you need to see a doctor asap so I would not wait- if you can't see your doctor immediately then I would either go to your local ER or get in to see another doctor asap.

So basically an occasional sharp pain that i have on one side could either be implatation or ectopic pregnancy? i do feel a bit tired, but
not dizzy. is there a way to know without going to the doctor? i
don't have any other symptoms.

thanks
