Hello 
My situation is so confusing, everybody’s puzzled by it, even medical professionals and I was hoping somebody might give me just a little insight if they’ve been through this before.
We found out we was pregnant on the 24th September, tests started to get fainter so I counted myself out and waited for the bleed. Big bleed (and I mean AWFUL, excessive blood, clots the size of plums and some serious cramping) happened on the 30th September and lasted about 6/7 days. I just got on with my life and that was that. I would of been about 5 weeks ish when the bleeding started.
On the 10th of October I decided to test, I thought with only being 5 weeks all the HCG would be completely out my system and was looking forward to drawing a line under it all. Well… the test came back super positive, as dark as control and digital was reading 2-3. I decided to book a private scan just to rule out anything nasty, like ectopic. On the 11th oct I went, they didn’t find anything resembling a pregnancy in tubes/ovary’s only a incredibly tiny fluid filled empty sac in uterus messing 2.9mm.
Now, I actually refused a referral to the EPU as I really wanted to give my body some more time and I knew what they would say, I know they’re policies (perks of working in the hospital trust, I looked them up) they would of told me to test 3 weeks after MC as the HPT can stay pos for a while after and if still positive after then, then they will investigate. I also refused the referral on another note because I’ve been through this before, I miscarried in July and the hospital tests came back negative, I was told all my tests (All 15 of them) were false positives and that what I’m experiencing was a heavy period, that was devastating and completely threw my whole life upside down emotionally, and I was scared to hear this again, especially after trying for a baby with my husband for 2 years. Stupid of me I now know.
I decided that if my pregnancy tests were positive after 3 weeks I will seek help. I kept a close eye on my body and became obsessed with tests because well you know, miracles do happen. All the tests between the 10th and now were all positive and I even got a 3+ on a digital so I knew that HCG was rising, albeit very slowly.
So yesterday (Monday) I decided to seek help, I had bloods, scans and a pregnancy test. Test came back roaring positive, scan showed nothing, anywhere! And HCG came back at nearly 3791. I was meant to go in on Wednesday for a repeat blood draw but had a phonecall after I got home from the hospital that they’re concerned with those levels and to come back in Tuesday for repeat scan with a consultant.
I’m soooooo confused and scared right now, how can my levels be so high and keep rising with nothing absolutely anywhere showing on the scan? Can this still be ectopic?? Everybody just keeps saying how bizarre it is, even medical professionals, it’s such a scary time.
Any insight would be great.
Apologies for the long post

I’m obviously keeping a very close eye on my body, I’ve been bleeding for about 4 weeks now, one big bleed at 5w pregnant and then spotting constantly pink with occasional fresh blood every now and then but now it is fresh blood constantly with some mild cramping that paracetamol does help. I would be 9W today.
