Rising HCG Levels & Left Sided Pain

I didn’t think I’d be back here again… But here we are :frowning:

My last ectopic was around eight years ago and I have fallen pregnant again unplanned. I have had lower left sided pain throughout although bearable.

I’ve had three lots of bloods all have more than doubled but I also had a scan last Friday in which they couldn’t see the yolk sac… Potentially too early as not 100% on dates we think I’m around 5 weeks. I have another scan booked in this Friday but just looking to cling onto some hope really between now and Friday.

If anyone has any positive stories it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance :heart::rainbow:

Dear char,

I could have written this post myself.

I was told to go home and return for a scan the following seek and that they didn’t hold up much hope about it being a viable pregnancy as my hCG numbers were high and they couldn’t see anything in my uterus.

A week later and there was a little heartbeat and in a few weeks that heartbeat turns into a teenager. I really hope this gives you some hope and I am sending you lots of positive thoughts,

Much love,

Thank you so much it truly does.

When I had my scan last week they saw something that looked like the start of an early pregnancy but couldn’t be confirmed. My HCGs have doubled the last three times so I really am just praying it’s just that full pain and my head that won’t let me relax. I just need to get through until Friday so any positivity is so welcomed and I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you :heart::dizzy:
