I had an ectopic pregnancy in February 2017, and was treated with one dose of mtx. A couple days ago, while on vacation with my husband I found out I am pregnant again- I was so happy, but also so scared something would happen while we are away. Today I am about 4 weeks 6 days pregnant. Yesterday while going to the bathroom I wiped and there was light pink spotting on the tissue. Today I went to the bathroom and the spotting is red. I am terrified of going through another ectopic.
If I were home I would go to the doctor to get checked out although this early on I know they won’t be able to see anything in an ultrasound. We are not supposed to get home from our vacation for another week (at which point I’ll be 5 and a half weeks pregnant). I can’t decide whether to wait it out or to end our trip short. Did any one else experience spotting or bleeding after an ectopic, did it end okay. I could use any advice or positive thinking. Thanks for your help.
Hi. Congrats on concieving!!
I know spotting in early pregnancy can be common but because you had an ectopic it can be very alarming and scary.
Im no doctor of course you want to speak with them. However i dont think you should cancel your trip unless you are having pain. Because it is so early in your pregnancy an ultrasound wont show anything yet and you wont know where pregnancy is located. You would have to follow up and wait anyway. I would call my doctors office today to schedule and appointment for the day you return. That way you can be seen asap and by then you may be able to see where pregnancy is.
I would say try to relax and enjoy husband and the trip but i know how impossible that would be at this point.
Im praying for you and your new little bean. Keep us posted.
More2come thank you for responding. For now I am trying to relax and enjoy the trip but every little twinge and every time I see some blood in the bathroom I become very anxious.
Im praying that it’s nothing and that my little bean is okay. My last ectopic pregnancy was my first pregnancy and it left me terrified it would happen again.
I appreciate your prayers and I will keep you posted in a few days when I visit the doctor.
Well we went home early from our vacation because I really wanted to get home and get checked out. Unfortunately the news was bad- they saw nothing in my uterus or anywhere else, they took my hcg numbers and saw they were dropping. In the end they diagnosed it a spontaneous abortion, told me to go home said my body would resolve its self. They don’t know if it was a miscarriage resolving itself or if it was another ectopic pregnancy resolving itself because my hcg numbers were too low to see anything on the screen. I’m relieved that for now I dont need any treatment, but feel heartbroken to be going through this again.
Thanks for the update
