I might be wrong but currently it sounds like a 'PUL' - Pregnancy of Unknown Location, which could mean ectopic, but at the same time could be just too small to see elsewhere. It is an awful thing to say, but at least if it resolving by itself you are saved having surgery, any further complications, etc.

An awful horrible situation for you Fedup I just hope you are home now and at least with your loved ones as you recover. Big hugs from me too.xx

Ok, so have they ruled out ectopic? I have to say I don't 100% understand all the terminology all I know it is sounds like they are monitoring you very closely and that is absolutely essential right now.

I assume they don't really have any answers either at this stage, that's why they want to see how your levels change as surely it is too early to see anything at this stage. Ie the pregnancy could be viable but they just don't know with the information they have right now?

Huge hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning. So after the worlds worst night sleep they came to see me this morning and said I can go home but back for bloods tomorrow unless I have major pain in the mean time.. If the pregnancy is developing they will scan and do camera surgery if necc to find out where it is. Most likely is I will miscarry and sort it out like that anyway.

Whatever it sucks but just relieved to be going home.

Thanks for all your support ladies, means so much xx

How are you feeling this morning fedup? I hope you managed to get some rest last night.

So you think the gp will start tests now or still make you wait? (I'm just trying to see some sort of silver lining, although I know for you there probably isn't any) x

Oh gosh that sounds really confusing and scary. There are no words right now I am just so glad you are in safe hands and being carefully monitored xxxx

fedup, I am so sorry. This sounds difficult indeed. We are all thinking of you. xxx

fedupofrainydays · 09/12/2013 22:20

They are checking me every hour with BP, temp, wee etc. I'm still nil by mouth and on drip in case of emergency. They need to find out if the pregnancy is developing, and where. Thanks for your support ladies xx

2beornot · 09/12/2013 21:37

Fedup - big big hugs. Why are they keeping you if your not going to have surgery. Could they let you go with a checklist of stuff to keep an eye on?

I hope you get some answers.

I am so sorry you are going through this. X

PunkyBubba · 09/12/2013 21:29

I am so so sorry sweetheart. I hope you find out what is going on very soon with the bleeding, etc. Not knowing makes it so much harder when, as you say, you just want to get home to your boys. A big virtual hug from me, so upset for you to be going through this.xxx

fedupofrainydays · 09/12/2013 21:11

I can't remember if I said there was random bleeding in the pelvis but couldn't locate where from... No obvious ectopic. Without that bleeding they prob would have assumed normal mc. But I've not bled enough for that so no one really knows...

fedupofrainydays · 09/12/2013 21:06

Hi ladies. So I've been admitted to hospital and they are monitoring me every hour. DH just gone home and DS was with grandma thank god.
So there was nothing in uterus. Hcg was 384. Which seemed too low given my bfp was 10 days ago.
I'm not having surgery unless things worsen over night.
I just want to be home with my boys. I don't think I can cope with ttc again after this... It's too heartbreaking :(

PunkyBubba · 09/12/2013 20:56

Me too, thinking of you fedup xx

Keep checking, not sure if no news is good news. I'm hoping so.

OP posts:
2beornot · 09/12/2013 13:55

Oh fedup, fingers crossed honey. You're in the right place. Have they measured your hcg levels? Are they consistent with how far along you are? I hope it's good news. Are you alone? Who has got your DS?

PunkyBubba · 09/12/2013 13:13

P.S. Thanks Sebs, I try not to get wound up over all the missed opportunities to spot the EP. At least personally I know more now, and I know what I won't accept in terms of care and answers.

PunkyBubba · 09/12/2013 13:09

Am so glad the EPU got you in. At least now you are on the path to get some answers. Wishing you soooo much baby dust, thinking of you.xxx

With my first pregnancy all my tests were faint. Had to get an internal and there she was my little Miracal. Sending lots of hugs X

fedupofrainydays · 09/12/2013 11:23

I did. But faint. EPU said my pregnancy test was also faint so it's not looking that good. Waiting for scan xx

MrsLadyL · 09/12/2013 11:08

Jumped on over here. Fed up did you get you're BFP? I seen you're having some problem? Iv bled the whole way through this pregnancy and had early scan at 9 weeks after a big flood of fresh red blood. Still spotting on and off so fingers crossed for you I know how you must be feeling. It may not be as bad as you think Xx

fedupofrainydays · 09/12/2013 11:06

So currently sitting in EPU. I called this morn and they want to see me to check not ectopic. Feeling very scared. I don't know if they will be able to see anything but we shall see. Feeling oddly calm as at least I'm not 11 weeks like last time I was here...

Hi girls. Pinky I'm so sorry to hear your story Sad. Totally unfair and dreadful the way they missed your symptoms even though you presented yourself to them so many times. I too have heard lots of stories of women conceiving quickly with one tube. Loads of love to you xxx

Fedup - you ok chicken? Not long until you can have your mind eased. I don't think your symptoms tally with what I've read about ectopic either. I have however heard so many women say they had a pregnancy with unexplained bleeding and the result is snuggled up in bed as they type. I'm sure that will be your story too in eight months time.

Well I'm in cd 12 and have lovely slippy clear EWCM. I ovulated in cd 13 last month according to opks. So will be interesting which day I oh dry this month. Least it's really close to the middle of the cycle now so I'm not stressing.

We bded fri night and sun afternoon, will bd again tonight and hopefully tues and wed too then OH away for a night. Was quite funny yesterday as I dragged him in from sorting the garage when he had everything out on the front lawn. It was like those classic film scenarios where the bloke has to shoot home at lunchtime as it's the right time.

Baby dust to everyone else lurking. Zippy is AF still missing?

DH has socks and pants for Christmas... V rock and roll!!

I'm sure too that it won't be long til you conceive (in the right place) and loving the sat nav idea!

PunkyBubba · 08/12/2013 16:08

Thanks 2be I have it in my head it won't take me long to conceive again.. ) which probably means I'm in it for the long haul.. At least getting pregnant in Aug shows DH still has swimmers that work, and I know I ov'd.. so thats half the battle right! I just need the next one to have Sat Nav to get through the one tube to the right place this time!

FedUp I think knowing as much as we know now about the inner workings of conception is as much a curse as a blessing as we get ourselves so wound up over every symptom. I know though I would be EXACTLY as freaked as you in your situation, and now I have had an ectopic I have a much higher chance of another one in the future. Any future pregnancies I have to go in for early scans at the EPU to rule it out.. so I know if/when I get a BFP I will be in absolute pieces until I get to see a scan showing it is in the right place...

If you are 5 weeks now then potentially you only (and I say 'only' knowing every minute you still have to wait is torture) a week or so left until you can have a scan. I am sure if you explain to the EPU your history and about the brown discharge and explain how distressed you are (you probably know this but I find crying on the phone helps) they should get you in for a scan as soon as they think they would see something (6-7 weeks).

No worries about DH.. He cheered up once we got in the car and headed off to buy him loads of new socks (my life is so rock n roll!)xxx
