I went for an early scan today and my consultant said she thought I was much earlier than my dates would suggest. Instead of the 6+3 I thought I was, she thought I might be 4-5 wks but was concerned about an ectopic pregnancy. I was sent for emergency bloods and my hcg levels came back higher (7500) than she would have expected considering what she saw/didn't see this morning.
I've been called back in for another scan and more blood tests tmr morning for a second opinion,
and a list of what to watch for and strict instructions to go to straight to A&E if I get any of the symptoms she listed tonight.
I'm petrified.
What happens if it is an ectopic pregnancy. I know there is no way to continue with the pregnancy but how is it resolved? Can anyone help?
