Hi all, I am in a bit of a conundrum and would like come advice.
I had a mmc in Feb followed by an MVA procedure to remove the fetus. Got pregnant again end April (OT positive on 27th April) and started spotting at around 5-6 weeks (23rd May). Went to EPU at the local hospital where they did a scan on which they couldn't see anything (in uterus or ovaries) and hcg blood tests 2 days apart with levels 78 (24th May) and 65 (26th May) so was diagnosed with a miscarriage. Had bleeding for ~5 days. The bleeding was like a heavy period and more reddish in colour than brown though I did not pass any big clots and settled after 2 days to a light brown discharge which also stopped after a couple of days (Sorry if TMI!) but I did not experience any pain or cramping. I did a HPT after 2 weeks on 8th June which gave a strong positive so went to the EPU again and they did blood tests after my insisting which came out to be ~1000. I am again having pregnancy symptoms like tender breasts and nausea. I also feel bloated and have some discomfort in the abdomen. Given the high hcg levels they have called me in for a scan on Friday. I called my GP and she said my symptoms dont shout ectopic as I dont have much pain. However reading on forums tells me people have varying physical discomfort during ectopic pregnancies pre-rupturing. Given the varying hcg levels does it shout ectopic? Also will Friday be too late and I should insist to be seen sooner? Or was it just a threatened miscarriage and I should wait till Friday to be seen? I am very confused and scared atm regarding ectopic and DH seems to be very positive and confused why am I feeling so anxious. Confused

I’m sorry I can’t give you any advice. I had an ectopic pregnancy many years ago, I received a huge amount of advice from The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust. Try one of their forums. I hope you have a good outcome.
