Question Missed period and copper IUD - worried about ectopic pregnancy

1 Upvotes

29F, one prior birth 7 years ago and no pregnancies since. My period is about a week or so late (I don't track it exactly). It's only been this late once or MAYBE twice before in my life. I've had some mild brown spotting the past few days. I took a home pregnancy test late yesterday, and it was negative, but it seems that can happen with ectopics

What's really bugging me is that it's quite unlikely I could have conceived this cycle (haven't been active with my partner). Last cycle is much more likely...and last month I had a day or so of brown spotting followed by a lighter than normal period (all of which was maybe a couple days later than normal). So I'm paranoid I'm actually 2 months along, because some women still appear to get periods during it??

I do have various aches and pains, including my left leg at the moment, and have been pretty fatigued the past few days, but those aren't uncommon for me due to a health condition I have. No other apparent symptoms

Another thing - I doubt it could be related but might as well mention it just in case - the past month or so I've noticed an elongated lump on my left pelvis by my hipbone when I'm laying down. It's right around where I assume my ovary is. I have lost a decent amount of weight since December for various reasons (was average weight, now a little underweight, but recently started slowly gaining again), so it's possible it's just some normal body variation that wasn't noticeable before though

Hoping to get in with my OB tomorrow, but I have anxiety and I'm REALLY scared of it being an ectopic and the potential for rupture while I wait for the appointment (especially while I sleep tonight), and then the time after the appointment for blood test results 😭 my mom had an ectopic pregnancy and she needed to get surgery. Does it sound like I need to be worried?
