Hello there
I was diagnosed with a ectopic pregnancy on 16th December, after a couple of weeks of watching my hCG rise, and seeing what they thought was an inuterine pregnancy resolve (my endometrium was thick and they thought they could see an empty gestational sac. Both have now gone but they’ve found a small pregnancy in my right tube).
On Friday, the day of my diagnosis, I was told they were hoping my hCG had peaked and that I’d come in on Monday (today) to be expectantly managed).
Sadly later that day by bloods came back and I’d had my biggest jump yet - 650 to 750 in 12 hours. They then told me to come in today nil by mouth, in case they needed to intervene. They’ll take my bloods and have me wait there for the results. If it swings the wrong way, then I guess I’ll go into surgery.
It’s all so unknown and scary, but if I am given some treatment options, I still don’t know what I’d prefer. Methotrexate sounds so invasive and a long, drawn out road, but surgery seems so final and devastating to your fertility.
I’m 37 so I don’t feel like I’ve got my most fertile years ahead of me. We’d been trying 6 months for this pregnancy.
I thought I read on here that your fertility outcomes are the same, regardless of your treatment - is that right? I can’t find that post now.
Really keen to hear others experiences and if they had any regrets
Thanks, Lizzie
