3 weeks out from mtx. Hcg was 178 at last week’s draw, so pretty low. However I’ve been in a lot of pain on the ectopic side since last night along with heavy bleeding, so my doctor’s office fit me in for an ultrasound this afternoon. It showed some blood in my pelvis but no other red flags. The ectopic mass wasn’t seen anymore, either.
Has anyone else had blood detected in your abdomen without rupturing? My levels are so low I feel like the end should be in sight, but the pain and the fluid they saw makes me nervous.
Hi there. Not quite the same as your scenario but I did have free fluid with no rupture. My ep was visible on my scan and they decided to operate. When they went in they found the tube had already pushed the pregnancy out in to a cavity and my tube was fully intact with no obvious sign of damage. So I’ve no idea what caused the internal bleeding. But it certainly wasn’t caused by rupture. Hope that gives you a little reassurance. Sorry to hear what you’re going through, it’s such a nerve wracking uncertain time. I hope you’re feeling better soon xx
I think you commented on my last post and we’ve ended up in very similar situations.
Bad pain and a scan this week also revealed that I had free fluid in the pelvis but the ectopic was seen - they believe it was a tubal miscarriage so I had surgery to remove everything.
I also had not ruptured so the tube is still intact and was told that free fluid can reabsorb into the body but it is incredibly scary and was extremely painful. I’m still terrified if it happening again even though I’ve had the surgery.
I’m sure if the doctors had any concerns at all they would have arranged surgery for you but may be worth keeping an eye on it and going back for more checks to see how things change. Your levels are very low so I pray the end is in sight for you now x
Thanks ladies! Luckily haven’t ruptured but ended up needing a second round of mtx because my levels stayed the same for 2 weeks. Really hoping it works this time!
