Hello, I found out that I was pregnant but I was bleeding for 4 weeks previous, so the doctor naturally referred me to the hospital. I had my bloods taken for hcg levels and a scan was booked. When I had my 1st scan they said it was too early to see anything. I was booked in for another scan a week later n my hcg levels were monitored. 2nd scan the sonographer showed me a dark splodge on the screan, but said my left ovary looks inflamed.. they sent me home and booked me for another scan for 2 weeks later.. I was getting very worried about the bleeding so I asked if I could come and have my hcg levels checked (just to see if baby was developing) the levels had gone up but not as much as they should have. So I was booked in for a scan earlier.. I lost a big peice of tissue a few days prior to the scan so I was concerned that I had miscarried. The sonographer said that there wasnt a baby in my uterus, she said theres something in your left tube but the doctor would explain everything. The doctor said its just a straight forward misscarage but they will do my hcg levels just to see. And they sent me home. An hour later I keeled over and had to be wheelchaired to an ambulance. I tried explaining I might be ectopic to everyone I spoke to but they just kept saying im misscarying .. the pain was emmence.. 4 hours later in a&e they checked my blood pressure and it was dangerously low. A surgeon luckily came into a&e and I heard her say that im very poorly... anyway turns out i had an ectopic twin and it had ruptured. I had internal bleeding and they had to perform emergency surgery. I signed a form to say I allow them to do a laparotomy (abdominal surgery) if they failed at a laparascopy (keyhole) its been 1 week and I seem to be recovering alright but I get a new pain in a different place every couple of days. Would be nice to see how others coped with it
