I found out i was pregnant 11dpo and have already been to the EPU for bloods. They are currently checking my bloods weekly? At what stage did people have there scans to locate their pregnancies?
Dear Marmoannie,
Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy.
Doctors usually carry out an internal transvaginal scan at around six weeks with subsequent pregnancies after an ectopic. This is because there is a reasonable chance of seeing an embryo around this six week mark.
We advise contacting your local EPU, reminding them of your ectopic pregnancy and booking an appointment. If you are unable to self refer, contact your GP who will be able to do this for you.
Whilst I do not wish to alarm you, I sadly have to remind you that if you experience any unusual bleeding, abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain, bladder or bowel problems or feel dizzy and unwell to seek urgent medical advice.
Sending much love and positive thoughts,
Karen x
