In December I had what seemed like a normal period, it was longer than usual but nothing I thought to worry about. I was having symptoms of a UTI but that isn’t uncommon for me as I suffer with them terribly. A few days after my period finished i started testing for ovulation and immediately I received a blazing positive which I knew was far too early as I was only on day 8 of my cycle. I remembered reading about ovulation tests picking up pregnancy hormones and so I done a pregnancy test and sure enough pregnant. I knew straight away something wasn’t right and took myself to A&E I was told my levels were 235, low for 5 weeks and I have probably miscarried already. I knew this wasn’t true as I’d only tested the day my period was due and it was a clear negative when surely it would have been positive and then turned negative with a miscarriage. They continued to monitor me over the next week and my levels rose slowly from 235 to 255 to 285. I was told it was ectopic and I would receive the injection once a scan was done. Unfortunately the scan showed I had already started to rupture and later that day my right tube was removed. My surgeon told me to wait one cycle and then I could try again. You can imagine my shock when 4 days before my period was due the first month trying again I found myself receiving a BFP! Fear instantly hit and I referred myself to the early pregnancy unit. At 3 weeks 4 days my levels were 43, 2 days later they had almost tripled to 118 and 2 days after that just short of tripling again to 351. I also had my progesterone checked and that came back at a whopping 97.1!!! This has terrified me even more as I’ve read this is so so high but the doctor didn’t seem worried? I was then told all looked well and no more bloods were needed instead I would have a scan at 5 weeks to make sure baby was in the correct place. Today I am 4 weeks and 4 days and I cannot shake this fear that this may be a repeat ectopic. I keep going back to my levels to calm myself along with the fact I haven’t had any spotting or bleeding. Both times I have ovulated since my ectopic it has been on my remaining tube side and I seem to have pain each time, I would describe it as being near my ovary rather than my tube. All of sudden this pain has come back at 4 and a half weeks pregnant and I am convincing myself something is wrong. I have also started getting some UTI symptoms again. My ultrasound has been brought forward to tomorrow at 4 weeks 5 days and they are hoping to see a sac to rule out ectopic. I am praying this is the case, I’m sorry this is so long winded but writing it down is helping me process it all. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have no living children. Last September I lost a little girl at 13 weeks pregnant due to a genetic abnormality and then 3 months later an ectopic loss and tube removal, I am just praying and praying this is our rainbow after a horrific storm. I suppose I am looking for a little piece of mind over the next 24 hours until my scan and wondering the likelihood of an ectopic if your levels are rising appropriately? Also did anyone go on to have a successful pregnancy post ectopic and also had slight pain? I would describe it as a dull pain very low down almost at my groin on my left side which comes and goes. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I’m sorry it is so longwinded!
I have found out I am pregnant 10 weeks after my ectopic loss and tube removal. I am beyond happy but so so scared this could be another ectopic. I am around 4wk4days and got my first positive 4 days before my period was due. My levels were monitored at 3wk4days, again at 3wk6days and again at 4wk1day, my results were 43,118 & lastly 351. My doctor was happy with this and said no other bloods needed to be taken and booked me in for a scan at 5weeks1day. I have been getting some dull groin pain on my remaining tube side the past day or so and after phoning the EPU my ultrasound has been brought forward to tomorrow 4wk5day, I am hoping and praying to see some sort of sac! Did anyone else have pain in there remaining tube and went onto to have a viable pregnancy?
I had an ectopic last November ending in the removal of my left fallopian tube. We have waited 3 months to try again. Only this month I am experiencing dull ache pain on the remaining right tube…but is more around my ovary, the pain just comes and goes! I am just 7Dpo and I took a pregnancy test but is negative!! I read online that can be a cyst …but I am still waiting for 3,4 more days to take another test@!! I am so scared 
!!!
Good luck 
It may be a cyst that’s what I thought was causing my pain but nothing was mentioned at my scan today. If it makes you feel any better I have had pain in my ovary/remaining tube side both times I have ovulated since my ectopic, this has continued on and off into my pregnancy but today at 4 weeks and 5 days I got the result that my levels are an amazing 2329!! And a little sac was seen in the correct place so pretty much ruling out another ectopic!! There is hope, I honestly thought my remaining tube was blocked due to the pain but apparently not!! If the pain gets worse I would mention it to a doctor that’s what I did and they referred me for a scan however I found out I was pregnant before I got the appointment to be checked my a specialist. 7dpo is still really early! I got the faintest positive on a clearblue early detection at 9dpo. Good luck!
Dear Katrina
OMG I am sooo happy for the great news!!!Whispers of congratulations on your pregnancy and all the very best 
I get quiet same symptoms but perhaps is still very early to know, the pain feels more intense during night time-early morning. I have never experienced this before. But , it can be anything. I am waiting for other 2,3 days to take another pregnancy test
I’m really pleased for you!!! I know how it feels and you well deserved this, congrats once again x
Take care
Warm regards
Dear Katrina,
Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy, it is great your bloods and scans have provided such positive news.
After an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured. I also felt twinges and aches after my ectopic pregnancy, particularly when I next felt pregnant. My mind started racing and I was only really able to relax to some degree after my early scan. It is a nerve-wracking time and you have friends here who understand how you are feeling.
Sending much love,
