Miscarriage concerns 7 weeks

[ThinnerByDinner]

Hi ladies, I’m hoping someone can share any experience/knowledge they have around my situation as I’m getting myself into a panic.
I started bleeding brown and then red at 6+5, went to EPU at 6+6 for internal scan and nothing could be seen, negative pregnancy test. Had a blood test and confirmed miscarriage which I already knew. Nurse rang later and my HCG levels were at something like 250 so had to go back for repeat bloods today (48 hours later). In those 48 hours I’ve had lots of bleeding, passed clots tissue and what I was 99% sure was the actual foetus. Anyway I’ve had a call tonight to say my HCG has increased slightly to 297.
I’ve now got myself into a complete state and panic that this could be an ectopic pregnancy, I’m absolutely terrified that something could happen to me. I know ectopic can be life threatening. I have a 3 year old and I am just scared that I’ve put myself at risk trying for this second baby.
I did ask the nurse if she thought this could ectopic and she said she didn’t think so and she’d discussed with dr and he said he thought this was just a failed pregnancy.

I am praying this is just a normal miscarriage. Does anyone have any experience like this and it did not turn out to be ectopic?

I’m going to ring tomorrow to ask questions because she totally caught me off guard tonight as I was so sure my levels will have dropped with the amount of tissue etc I’ve passed.

Look forward to hearing from anyone who can shed and light!

Also will quickly mention they also did a pregnancy test at the hospital which was negative.
I’ve had a miscarriage before and passed it naturally and this feels the exact same. I was never monitored with bloods etc the first time so this is new to me.

It’s purely the fact my HCG has risen slightly and she couldn’t see anything in my uterus which is scaring me.

Hi @ThinnerByDinner, I recognise you from our Aug thread, I think we found it our sad news around the same time didn't we? I'm going through a very similar thing at the moment. I had an inconclusive abdominal scan this week after miscarrying the night before (we think I miscarried, but not totally confirmed). I posted on the miscarriage support thread last night about it as I'm worried mine could be ectopic, HCG levels came back yesterday and have shown 1% rise in 48 hours but are around 7000. My hospital won't scan me again over the weekend as I'm not in pain, but i couldn't face the worry of a rupture so I've booked a private scan at a clinic today. I'll let you know how I get I on, might be worth posting is miscarriage support thread for traffic. I have everything crossed for you that I'm it's not ectopic 🤞

Hi @Lililou thanks so much for replying! Yea I think we did post the same day. Such an awful situation we find ourselves in.
The hospital haven’t actually suggested they are concerned about ectopic it’s my mind and google sending me into overdrive. I am back there tomorrow for more bloods so will insist on another internal scan. I was so sure I had passed the majority of the pregnancy, so I’m wishful thinking it’s just taking my body/hormones a bit to catch up, but I think I’m deluding myself.

Fingers crossed for you at the clinic today. I’m just on tenterhooks trying it to overthink every niggle!
