Hi all. First time on a forum... I'll try to keep this brief.
Have had a rollercoaster month after finding out I was pregnant for the first time a few weeks ago. Within days I started bleeding heavily. Was referred to the EPU and told an early miscarriage was 90% likely. Anyway, back and forth to the EPU I've been over the last couple of weeks- my HCG levels were rising but no pregnancy sac could be found. This morning at 7 weeks 2 days, they can finally see the pregnancy sac in my right tube.
Naturally I'm devastated. With all the uncertainty I hadn't let myself become attached to the idea of having 'a baby' but now I'm feeling very doom and gloom about future pregnancies and fertility. But the big question- what treatment to have?? I've told the doctor I'd rather not lose a tube so am going back in tomorrow for the meth injection, but now coming home and reading further in to it, I'm wondering whether surgery would be more conclusive?? I just want whichever treatment will give me more chance of a successful pregnancy next time.
Would love to hear from people who had ectopics first time round and the kind of treatment they opted for? And also of positive pregnancy stories following this horrible thing. I'm 29 and a week ago my HCG was 2400. Waiting for today's blood results which may make the decision for me but in the meantime I'm very confused!
