Possible Ectopic / Miscarriage

Hi all

I previously posted under another name, I sadly miscarried at 12 weeks late last year.

I was lucky enough to conceive again a couple of months ago however it’s not been plain sailing again.
I had a bleed at about 6 weeks, only small so didn’t think much of it but booked in for an early scan at 7 weeks, by that time I’d had another small bleed
Scan showed empty sac at 15mm and was told in all probability to prepare for the worst unless I thought my dates might be out, I was sure they weren’t.
At the EPU they did a blood test however the results didn’t show a particularly large drop in hgc levels like one would expect and they asked me to return 4 days later for the same test. In this time I had a small bleed but again only slight and no pain. The 2nd blood test only revealed a small drop again so they advised me that they aren’t ruling out ectopic and to return again in 4 days for more blood tests.
I am due back in again Tuesday morning and so far had no bleeding or pain.
I have a loss of pregnancy symptoms all day (previously felt nauseous and tired 24/7) now it only comes on at about 4pm but during the evening I feel very much pregnant

Has anyone else experienced this? Feeling quite scared that it might be ectopic and been reading all sorts of horror stories.

For a bit of history I don’t have any other children, last year was the first time I conceived and I had heavy bleeding weekly from 8 weeks, scan found a heartbeat everytime until just past 12 weeks where I was taken into A&E suddenly (had seen a heartbeat only the day before) and had a long drawn out 6 hour session of contractions until the baby and placenta passed, had to have a drip for fluids and plenty of morphine!)

So this time round is very different, I’m not as emotionally wrecked but quite scared all the same.

Xx

Update..
Had scan today and they found a fetal pole, no heartbeat so ruled out ectopic.
Just a waiting game now to see if my body miscarries naturally over the next 2 weeks.
Hopefully it will be soon so we can just move on
