Early scan shows possible ectopic

Just wondered if anyone else has had experience of this.

I went for early scan at 7 weeks yesterday. Had had some slight spotting then red blood in morning.

Somographer can see gestational sac but no baby. There's a mass in right Fallopian tube.

She told me it was possibly ectopic pregnancy at which point I realised I'm not going to have a baby this time Hmm

Sent to hospital, they took bloods and put me on monitoring of vitals plus drip for suspected ectopic.

Six hours on consultant comes to see us. Says blood results show high hcg levels consistent with pregnancy and scan inconclusive as not sure what mass is.

Potential options - it's ectopic pregnancy, or baby is in different place, or I'm earlier than thought and baby is in right place and can't be seen yet. In which case mass could be corpus luteum.

Got to go back in 48 hours for bloods and rescan to see if hcg has increased and if they can identify mass.

I'm in limbo - in my head I know it's likely I'm not going to have baby but there's a glimmer of hope...

There's a chance I could have a miscarriage.

They didn't say much about the fluid around the baby, but I guess it's their main concern. also said the baby was curled up in a corner , so I have a feeling they are not growing properly.

I just want monday to come now. So much worry this week, I just want to know ??

Thank you Leela x

I know. The waiting is the hardest part. If there's a chance if miscarriage that means there's also a chance if no miscarriage. Try to keep yourself busy and think positive thoughts. Fx for Monday
