Miscarriage or Ectopic

Other Pregnancy and Baby Loss

Hi all!

I am needing some advice.

I should have been 7 weeks and 2 day pregnant but at 5 weeks I started spotting brown which didnt alarm me, but the next morning I had bright red spotting not to much but I did go to the A&E because of the spotting and I had some burning around right ovary.They did blood, urine and internal ultrasound.My hcg came iut at 137 and nothing was on the ultrasound.The doctor told me I was either going to have a miscarriage or I was to early. I went to my obgyn that next week to do blood work and to came out at 123 and that same day I started bleeding clots and had some cramping for 3 days and then the bleeding got lighter had another blood done and it was 117 which was going since it was going down.Well I had another one that was 123 again it went up 6 points and back down to 117 now I am just having brown discharge and some pain near right ovary.My question is does rhis sound like a miscarriage or ectopic the waiting is killing me… I go again monday for blood.

Hi lisa_yousif27,

Sorry to hear about what you are getting through.

My ectopic ruptured when I was 8w0d… although my gynecologist was diagnosing miscarriage (even complete miscarriage) for a whole month…despite my questions about it being an ectopic (I just thought I was paranoid because of the “miscarriage”). My symptoms: bleeding (started like brown spotting, pretty heavy afterwards with large clots), pressure on the right side of my belly (it was my right tube that partially ruptured), chest pain, in a couple of occasions shard pain in my abdomen, and beta hcg going up and down (unfortunately, started monitoring it when it was too late).

I can’t tell whether you are experiencing a miscarriage or an ectopic…but please monitor closely and raise the issue to your doctors. Had I known I had an ectopic, I would have acted earlier.

Wish you all the best, let us know when you have news.
