This is long so please bare with me!
I started bleeding 10 days ago, this has never been heavy but switched from bright red to pink to brown.
I was referred to EPU and on Saturday they took my bloods and did a transvaginal scan, they found nothing on the scan but said it could be too early, my last period was 6 weeks 4 days ago, but I think I got pregnant about 4 weeks ago, hcg levels were 165.
Retested 2 days later and they had gone up 65% which was just above the minimum they would expect (63%).
They booked me in for retest for today (48 hours later), however yesterday morning I started getting a horrible cramping/stabbing pain in the low left hand side of abdomen, had this last week but only lasted a few hours, this time it has been constant since yesterday morning, was crying in pain last night, couldn't even sit down as it hurt more so had to stay stood up until I went to bed, but was still awful when laid down and woke up several times in the night because of it.
I told them about the pain when I got there this morning when they retested blood, they asked me to stay there to wait for results because of pain as suspected it could be an ectopic (as also had bad dizziness on Saturday). They gave me a codeine which didn't help pain, did another transvaginal scan and this time found a 6mm gestational sac but no yolk, blood results came back and had doubled this time to 526. I know everyone's levels are different but looking at averages this still seems quite low for 4-6 weeks pregnant.
I have been booked in for a scan in a week's time which seems like such a long time to wait while I am still in the same amount of pain for 36 hours now and paracetamol just does not help. As they've now seen a sac I'm guessing it's not ectopic but I can't help thinking the pain I'm in is not normal so may be an impending miscarriage? Still bleeding but only lightly and only every so often. Any ideas? Feel like I can't wait a week to find out what is happening to me!
