Hi,
I'm 29 and about 5/6 week pregnant with #1. I am a slim PCOS. No morning sickness yet (mum didn't have it) just bloating and occassional pains either side of uterus (no bleeding).
Was trying not to worry, but on Monday I had to take a few sharp intakes of breath occassionally with the twinges and called NHS Direct who told me to go to A&E.
I had tests and found out my hcg was 1900 so had a scan and nothing could be seen in the uterus on the trans-vaginal scan. Cyst on right ovary looked like where the egg popped out (normal), but there was also cyst in left fallopian tube near ovary. I was told to prepare for the worst. Went home and cried my eyes out.
Had blood test after 48 hours - doubled to 4075. Had another scan and a yolk sac has been found in the uterus (thank god!), but have to wait until next Friday for another scan as they are not sure if it is a heterotopic pregnancy (one in womb, one outside). I've googled and apparently it is very rare for natural conceptions - 1 in 20-30,000. Still cacking myself though.
This week has been really bad. Was really looking forward to telling my parents they would be grandparents after the 12 week scan, but I caved and told them after the first (bad) scan. I'm so tired and scared. Sorry for the long post. I just had to get it off my chest. Has anyone else had a suspected ectopic/ heterotopic they would like to share?
Thank you for reading.
