Low hcg. Pregnant after ectopic and mmc

Pregnant After Ectopic Pregnancy
1

Hi girls,

I had ectopic in June 2014 and lost left tube. Then 6 months later got pregnant again but it ended in mmc.

I am pregnant again 5 weeks but bleeding. Had bloods done on Thursday hcg was only 39. They did another test today and it came back at 56. Not quite double. I think I shouldn’t even hope for a good outcome just wonder if it might be ectopic with levels rising like this?

Hi Gitast,

How are you? the HCG levels sound fine and given that it’s meant to double every 48 hours - your numbers seem to imply that this may be the case. Have you been able to have a scan? I know you won’t see much at this point but if you see a gestational sac in the uterus then at least you’ll be able to rule out an ectopic.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hope you find out some news in the coming days.

Hi Fran,

Thanks for your support. I am better today. Bleeding turned into spotting but I am not hoping for much. I just really hope it’s not another ectopic. I had a scan last Thursday at 5 weeks when bleeding started. They could see something in uterus but not sure what. Couldn’t see anything in my tube yet. No blood in pelvis or uterus. I really don’t know what to think.

Are you having regular blood tests to see what your hormone levels are? This could indicate whether it’s a viable pregnancy or not.

I knew that something was wrong with my 1st pregnancy when they told me my progesterone levels were low but the slow increasing HCG levels flagged up the possibility of an ectopic. I hope you get some news soon as I remember feeling awful in the limbo land xx

Hi girls,

Scan confirmed that I miscarried. It’s so awful but I’m not losing hope. I try to believe that it’s just a bad luck and next time it will be ok. :frowning: xxxx

So sorry for what you’re going through. Sounds awful, but when I had my MC after ectopic I felt a little relieved that at least it got to the right place. Hopefully next time our beans will get to the right place and stick. Look after yourself.
