Need some advice from anyone who?s been here. Recently found out I was pregnant (just 5 weeks) ? had quite a lot of stomach cramp for a week and then lots of blood and clots. . Went into hospital for scan, nothing there. They took my bloods and again 2 days later - hcg risen from 60 to 90. 2 days later hcg was 150. Another scan (would have been 7 weeks pg by then), nothing in womb, lining thin, all looked normal ? but hcg up to 300. What is going on?? Have had all sorts of suggestions from the doctors ? ectopic, hormones settling down, even that the ultrasound scan isn?t picking up a pg but there is one there.
Naturally this is giving me false hope that I might still be pg, and at the same time I?m terrified that it?s ectopic.
Another scan next week (would be 8 weeks) and in meantime have been told to refrain from drinking and doing other stuff like eating stilton to be on the safe side.. this is really horrible as I know that the scan will show empty again.
To top it off (rant alert) my mother is making the most insensitive comments imaginable!! She is joining in the false hope brigade with things like ?well, you never know, stranger things have happened? as if I could still be pg. And when I told her I may need a laporoscopy/laparotomy she said they are ?great, your dad was running upstairs the day after his keyhole surgery?. I mean for god?s sake, what?s great about having what?s left of a pregnancy, and possibly your fallopian tube removed????? Not to mention the impact on my chances of having a baby in future? And is there any mention of coming to visit/help with ds? Is there heck!
Anyway rant over, has this happened to anyone else? What was the outcome? How did you cope with it all?
