Hi I’ve had light bleeding every day for 2/3 wks, low hcg levels that aren’t rising much and some belly ache like period pains.
Had a internal scan today and ectopic was found in left tube,

Sorry to hear that 😓 i had a positive a week ago and the bfp got fainter every 48 hrs until monday it was a bfn. Ive got twinges on my left side and spotting but i bled more at 6 weeks with my son due to having a bicorn. I cant see my situation being anything but a negtive one x

I had a positive then started bleeding that night,
I bleed with my other pregnancy’s so wasn’t to worried, but hospital make u do bloods every 2 days and my levels we low and only rising a little bit, I refused any treatment till it was found, and was praying they were wrong till today they found it.
Had the injection at 5pm to help me pass it so feeling pretty crap.
Hope ure be ok, get ureself to ure local pregnancy unit to be checked x

From about 6.5 weeks I had a brown spotting as though my period was about to start. I mentioned to my MW who sent me to the EMU that afternoon. This started two weeks of going back and forth, having blood tests, internal scans, basically being prepared to drop everything and go up to the hospital at any time (got called in at midnight one evening and then came home again in the wee small hours). HCG levels weren't rising as expected but they couldn't find the pregnancy. Eventually had an operation to remove the pregnancy and the tube laparoscopically, followed by 6 weeks off work (2 weeks to recover physically but they anticipated my falling apart a bit and I needed every day of the 6 weeks the hospital signed me off for).
I was never in any pain, but it was very a very stressful time as there seemed to be an expectation it could suddenly become an emergency situation.
I'm so sorry you are going through this, I hope you have some good RL support to lean on Flowers

Sleepycat don’t leave it 2 wks to be checked, if its ectopic it can be dangerous for u,
