Hi,
I will explain this as best as I can as my mind is a little scrambled.
I had a miscarriage at 4 weeks and 4 days. I bled heavily for around 8/9 days. I went to my GP (on day 4 of the bleed) who confirmed miscarriage and that was that.
A week and 5 days later (Tuesday) I went back to the doctors (different GP) due to having an uncomfortable pain in my lower left abdomen. Like a dull ache, sometimes worse than others. Like a light period cramp. she took some swabs and sent them off but also referred me to the hospital. I went to an appointment the following morning.
Whilst there, they did bloods (hcg only 97) and a pregnancy test - still positive. They also did a scan and couldn’t see anything. An internal scan didn’t show anything either, other than hemorrhagic cysts on my left ovary (same side as the ‘dull ache’) so thoughts were that’s what the cause was.
Because they didn’t have anything to compare my bloods to, I had to go back this morning for more done. They've just rang and they’ve risen but only to 138. They are now thinking ectopic but I’d be 6/7 weeks at this point and they didn’t see anything on the scan. I asked the nurse and she said there’s a chance it could be small. She also asked if it could be a new pregnancy but I only stopped bleeding last Wednesday and had sex that weekend so it’s all too soon for it to be that.
Has anyone experienced similar? Any thoughts? This is my first experience of pregnancy so it’s all unknown to me.
I’m back at the hospital on Sunday for a third set of bloods. Other than this now light and intermittent cramping, I feel fine in myself.
Sorry for rambling.
