is this an ectopic pregnancy?

[notsoold]

Yesterday I started having cramps about 6pm....not so painful as periods cramps but only on my right side.
No other symptoms and otherwise well...
I went to epu today and because I am 6+2 they dod some blood tests and told me to come home. They thought that at 6+2 a heartbeat might not showed in a scan and I would stress even more...
The epu phoned tonight and told me to book a scan tomorrow and that the hcg result was 5163...
Should I be worried???
Can it be ectopic with that result??
Ps I am 41..

I'm so sorry for all the worry you're going through notso. Please try not to worry too much about your symptoms - I've always found with my pregnancies that you get days when they seem to have eased off and days when they feel stronger.

Will be thinking of you and keeping fingers crossed for a strong, healthy heartbeat.

goosey how did it go today???

chairman thank you....to be truthful I am trying to keep calm ( if not positive about a happy outcome) but without success....
For sure it will be a long week ....xxx

Thanks for asking notsoold. I wish I could post some positive uplifting news, but unfortunately it hasn't worked out for me this time. The scan showed no development. In a way it has helped having the 2 weeks to prepare myself, and I'm still really glad I had those positive stories to cling on to. I really hope you are doing OK with the awful wait x

Goosey.... I am so sorry.... Take care of yourself... Xxx

So sorry goosey :(

Notsoold, just wanted to say, my pregnancy at 5+4 was only showing a sac no yolk or anything, they obviously thought the worse, went back 12 days later and there was a baby with a heartbeat. Finger

Daft phone, was meant to finish, fingers crossed for you xx

Beckie....thank you! I need as many finfers crossed as possible. The fact that they told me the gestacional sac was 12mm ( about 6weeks) and yolk sac but no fetal pole is concerning...
It put either the pregnancy back or ( much worse... Not a viable pregnancy.
I am preparing myself for the worst, not because I am giving up on this pg, but because when I asked if it might be ok and if I got my dates wrong, she said "yes ....but it is more certain that it is not going to be a viable pregnancy....
Hope she is wrong!!!
I am glad you had a good result :)

Just an update...
I had another scan today and they found the fetal pole with a heartbeat.
Everything measuring around 6 weeks instead of my almost 8 but I was told not tp worry..
:) very happy!!!! Early days I know but I am very happy!!!
Thank you for holding my hand!
