Found out I was pregnant last Thursday currently 4+5. Had bloods done today to check hcg levels and more being done weds. Petrified its ectopic, last time I nearly died. I know there isn’t a lot anyone can do at this stage, just hate the not knowing of what’s going on.
In a constant state of worry and panic.
Sorry just don’t know what to do x
Oh you poor thing !
Stay carm and try to stay positive, the hospital knows this time - and will make sure your ok much earlier than before and congrats your bound to be terrified until you know all is ok, its a shocking thing when it happens and now you have to wait again remember all the feelings you have are totally normal after having an ectopic, I am still trying to conceive but if and when i do I know I WILL BE JUST THE SAME AS YOU SCARED AND WORRIED !
take care x
Hi,
Totally understand you being frightened about another ectopic - I was exactly the same!
Basher has given some great advice… The medical professionals are doing the right thing with the blood tests and scans. There is statistically a very good chance your pregnancy isn’t ectopic and if, by some hideous misfortune, it is ectopic then the doctors will have diagnosed it early enough to preserve your fallopian tube.
I have everything crossed for you.

Not Alone!
I just found out i was pregnant this weekend, I just had an ectopic pregnancy two months ago and nearly died from it as you did. I went into the doctors for pain that afternoon not knowing i was pregnant or anything and by that night i was in the hopsital getting an ultrasound saying my stomach was full of blood and i went into surgery right away! I am a little more at ease knowing that i have planned every step of this pregnancy and know how far along and am going to the doctor for the first time tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know your not alone…

Thanks for sharing Shaniah. Hope all went well at the doctors for you x
Hi,
I’m in the same boat and so so scared as thinking maybe another ectopic.
Have had cramping and brown spotting, had ultrasound yesterday which would be about 4 weeks or 4+3 not quite sure of exact dates as we had given up ttc.
The ultrasound showed a small fluid area but the shape of banana in my uterus and nothing else.
The sonographer said it could be the start of a normal pregnancy or an abnormal pregnancy and I’ve read psuedo sacs are often this shape so I’m really freaking out.
She said to have another ultrasound in 2 weeks and monitor hcg levels and pain until then. Had the first blood test yest and another tomorrow so have to wait wait and wait.
Pain seems to have eased a bit today but my worry has not…
I’ve heard of people having viable pregnancies after spotting and cramping but seems like its a distant dream

Oh gosh, really feel for you K.
I know it is a scary time, and I really sympathise. The docs are doing all they can at the moment as it is hard to spot anything before a six week scan and you could be experiencing implantation bleed. Best thing to do is stay vigilant and ask to be reassessed if you get any more symptoms but in the meantime but, if not, hold on to six weeks so the scanning will be more accurate and lets see what the hCG blood tests say.
We are here whenever you need us.

Thanks EPT host 13.
Hcg has gone up from 1700 to nearly 4000 in 2 days. Scan booked for 6 weeks. Fingers crossed!

Hoping for good news for you all. I am in the same boat but fighting to get betas at 4 weeks.
Sorry I see this is older. Still hope it all went well.
