After trying to concieve for 8 months I was told I had a pregnancy of unknown location at 6 weeks. As my beta HCG went from 500 to 300 then back up to 400 they treated me for an ectopic with methotrexate. They have never found the pregnancy via 2 internal scans and 1 ultrasound but I had the classic symptoms of an ectoptic. My question is - is it acceptable that we still don’t know where the pregnancy was? I don’t know if there is existing damage to a tube which is terrifying as obviously would be likely to happen again.They advised me against the keyhole camera since I am type one diabetic and they said there were more risks to this because of anaesthetic in comparison to methotrexate. Does it sound normal for us to walk away from this without knowing what happened? Thank you for reading my post.
I going through this at the moment. It’s awful isn’t it?
At the moment my diagnosis is PUL but they’re pretty sure it’s a tibial ectopic. I think because they can’t locate it anywhere else? My HCG is still rising and currently sits at 495. Up 50 since Monday. They want to manage it naturally. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m scared waiting and will then need further treaent anyhow.
Also terrified that this will happen again. I do already have a baby but what if she came down the good tube?
Feeling so low at present.
Much love to everyone else who is going through/ gone through this
Just thought I would share with you,I was in the exact same situation as this! I went to the doctors with some bleeding at around 6 weeks pregnant n was told it could be fine but to just keep an eye on things,my bleeding continued but I was in no pain! I went to the early pregnancy unit and After 2 interns scans showing no signs of any baby at all but my hcg still rising they diagnosed a Pregnancy in unknown location,during my internal scans I was told My tubes were clear so they didn’t think it was ectopic.
I was treated with 2 lots of methotrexate and had to have blood tests every week untill my hcg went back to 0. I blead for A few weeks after my hcg was negative too which I was told is normal and some people do! I was so upset that a nurse told me I had to wait to try again after methotrexate. When I was given 2 different lots of advice about when I can try again from the hospital I got in touch with ‘tommys’ and explained my situation,I was told I did not have to wait 6 months,and that once my hcg returned to negative to take folic acid for 12 weeks and then I can try again! Which means me and my parter will be trying again soon! It sounds like forever to wait but it soon flys by! If you are ever unsure I highly recommend emailing tommys they were brilliant!
