Investigation into eptopic pregnancy

Hi all hopeing some one may have had the same experience am having now

I recently went to the doctors over the weekend because I thought I had a water infection and I’m 7 weeks pregnant

She referred me for a early scan to check all was fine due to having also brown discharge

At my scan nothing could be found accept a cysts on my ovaries and something behind it like some fluid but no baby

My hcg levels was done and come back at 1200 which the doctor said is to low to show anything on a scan so I now have to go back tomorrow and check my levels again

But she believes this is eptopic but sent me home currently due to not actually having any symptoms

Anybody had this before ?

Hi Rachmillion,

I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through.

Before my ectopic I was told I had a PUL (Pregnancy of Unknown Location). I had a scan and they couldn’t see anything, so they took blood and asked me to come back 48 hours later to retake the test and see how my levels were rising. Have they asked you to return for a 2nd blood test? If they haven’t perhaps call them and suggest it.

Good luck with it all.

Emily

Just to add, I didn’t have any symptoms until 8.5 weeks pregnant, so if you experience any bleeding, pain, dizziness, pain on going to the toilet or anything else unusual do not hesitate to go to hospital. Take care.

Hi yes am back tomorrow

For another blood

They was 1200 yesterday and hopeing they double

But I heard that your hcg levels have to be 2000 for anything to show on a scan

What was your levels ?

Oops, I missed the part about you going back the first time I read your posts. Glad they’re keeping a close eye on you.

I don’t know what they were the first time (the hospital lost my blood) and the second time I went two days later they were 25,000, but they still couldn’t see anything when they scanned me (I had three scans by then).

Look after yourself.

Oh so even thought ur hcg levels went up or was high you still ended up eptopic

Yes, I hope you’re ok though. Just keep a close eye on anything that happens inbetween your blood tests. I hope you get on ok.

I will do

They are stumped at the moment because I have no symptoms but hopefully on my next scan they might see something

They worried because I have a 5cm cyst

As well and some fluid behind it they think this is maybe the baby in the wrong place but unsure

It really is horrible being in limbo and not knowing exactly what’s going on.
