Early Miscarriage or 2nd ectopic please help I'm so scared

Hi Ladies I suffered an ectopic 2011 resulting in surgery to remove my right tube.2012 I went on to have child. Been TTC on and off for 3 years with no success.

I had my period as normal 27 days cycle and it was fine nothing different about it. 5 days later (Tues night) I had low back ache and I had some pink red spotting which lasted a couple of hours. I was concerned so I took a hpt test which was 10milu it had a faint positive. The next morning I took the other test as urine was stronger but the test was fainter.

Spotting went away just dull back ache. Thursday I took 2 tests line wasn’t barely visible and digital test said negative.

Concerned I went to my gp who arranged blood test. Friday (yesterday ) I got a call saying my hcg is 27 and she thinks it’s unlikely to be ectopic and put that number to about 4 weeks pregnant which is when I had my actual period. Got to go back Monday to repeat bloods to see if it’s dropping.

I have zero symptoms except ovulation type cramp pain and if I am on a new cycle I am on cycle day 14 .

Right now I’m petrified and can’t think straight as to whether I’m feeling OK or if it’s happening again.

Googling I haven’t found anyone rupturing with hcg that low but I know that’s not proof of anything.

I’m having flashbacks about my first experience and remember at nearly 6 weeks as I am now that I had severe burning pain unable to open my bowels shoulder tip pain. My hcg was over 1000 then.

I just don’t know how I’m going to get through the weekend and next few days waiting to find out if it’s ectopic.

Does anyone have any advice or experience that could help?

I’ve basically had a normal period spotting a few days later for an evening positive test turning negative 2 days later

Hcg 27

I feel OK in myself I don’t have the dread feeling and level of panic I felt last time I don’t know whether to trust that gut feeling please help

Hi Gemma,

I am really sorry you are going through this pain. With my eptopic I had a normal period and on cycle day 8 had heaving bleeding which I thought was my body getting used to being off the pill (it was my second month) it didn’t stem so I booked a doctors appointment who confirmed by pregnancy and blood tests were taking. I went back and fourth as HCG hoovered for a few weeks. In the end I was treated with methotrexate and advised to wait 3 months before TTC. We conceived again after 2 months after that and at my 6 week scan all looked well, sadly a follow up scan showed the pregnancy had ended a few days before and I had a missed miscarrage. Having no children I am so scared to try again but I know I have to as my longing for them is more painful than all of my previous pregnancies. I really hope this outcome is better for you.

Thinking of you. Xx

What happened Gemma? Your story similar to mine…i had s bleed when period due but tested week after as “felt pregnant”. I was 239. Sadly then looked like mis carriage went to a&e with the pain…i wasn’t happy with the follow up so insisted on another hcg and it hasn’t fallen from the 125 almost 10.days before… going in tomorrow for a scan. Scared! X
