Would like some advice on this, no one but my husband and I knows I'm pregnant and I really don't know what I should do.
Three months ago I had an ectopic pregnancy which got pretty serious - I ended up in emergency surgery and had a tube removed. My tube had ruptured on day 38 of my cycle - I'd been bleeding for three days before that and I thought it was my period.
Through some miracle I am pregnant again, had a BFP nearly a week ago and as my last period started on January 15th I would now be 5 weeks pregnant. I saw my GP today and he said he'd refer me to the EPU for an early scan. He said that if I wanted, I could phone them myself and self-refer and I might get the scan quicker this way.
So, should I:
a) wait for them to phone me (could take 3-5 days) and get the early scan next week. I would then be 6-7 weeks pregnant and might be able to see more... or
b) call them myself and potentially get a scan this week, but run the risk of not being able to see much and therefore "wasting" my early scan (but at least I'd have extra reassurance that it's not an ectopic)?
I should say that my symptoms this time are very different, I seem to have a lot more of the normal ones (heavy breasts, feeling queasy and TIRED), but obviously I don't actually know where this pregnancy is located. To complicate things further I had a little bit of bleeding today (a couple very tiny specks of blood on the toilet paper) and I'm now worried.
Any advice much appreciated!
