Went for a private scan at 7 weeks as Id had some spotting and was worried about how disconnected I felt to this pregnancy ( ive had missed misscarriage before becoming pregnant with my son and this pregnancy happened straight after a chemical pregnancy). The scan showed a thick womb lining but absolutely nothing else.
Gp sent me straight to Epu lots of poking n prodding later no sign of pregnancy. Told either dates where wrong ( Id been having positives test for 3 1/2 weeks so chance of being less than 6 w pretty much nil), complete miscarriage (but no bleeding just odd spots no chance it wasn't a new pregnancy as Id had 2 weeks of negative tests between) ectopic ( thankfully no sign) or vanishing pregnancy.
Then Hgc results came back high and concern about ectopic increased I was told I can't be alone just incase. My family are away for fornight and OH working away on rare trip aboard so not the best timing. My MIL has been wonderful and dropped everything to be here and also take care of toddler while I'm in hospital for appointments. She isn't that keen on me and we have a slightly strained relationship to say the least. I'm keeping every emotion bottled up as it doesn't feel comfortable to show them.
Next bloods showed a slight drop in hgc which is encouraging. I now need to go in to be checked over every 48 hrs not every 24. It just feels like being stuck in limbo. I've been so concerned about keeping toddler safe if something serious happens and happy while im at hospital (im sahm so me being away for several 6 hrs daily and daddy not here as well is hard on him).
The Dr says if most likely 'the pregnacy is resolving itself is my body is absorbing it' and that they will never know where it was. I'm starting feel tidal wave emotions building. The grief for hopes of the baby and my families future. But while vanishing aspect makes me feel like a fraud.
Sorry this post is a huge brain dump. Id not heard of a pregnancy of unknown location and there seems to be less information on it than other types of loss. Has anyone else been through something similar ?
