After the inital shock of finding out I am pregnant again, I have started bleeding today. Phoned the emergancy gp and of course he said that it could be a miscarriage, so he tried to get me an appointment at the EPU but noone is there, so I have to phone my gp tomorrow.. I have a very slight pain on my right hand side, and the bleeding is light. I asked about ectopic pregnancy and he said I would be in serevre pain, which I am not.

I did ask if the ectopic pregnancy would have damaged my tube but she said they can't be sure.

i am supposed to have a smear tonight. I am going to cancel it, my body has been through enough this month

Its so difficult waiting for the HCG results. My first one was 749 and then the second was 789 which seemed to confirm eveything as being ectopic. Because they saw an area of uncertainty around the edge of my fallopian tube they opted for the methotrexate on New Years Eve and my levels shot up last week to 950 and have finally come down to 350 today. Everything hangs in the balance until you get these results back ..its such an emotional time. I couldn't focus on anything other than my results to confirm I was out of danger and also that everything would be ok to try again from March

Absolutely - cancel that smear test!!

On thursday morning my HCG levels were 673,by the evening they had raised to 684, but on saturday they were 470. The doctor said they are still quite high and as long as they have decreased by half by today we can safely say that the pregnancy has ended. As they are letting natural take its course I suppose I should wait till I have one normal period before trying again.

Oh PE I am sorry you are going through this too

Yes you're probably safe to wait for your next period and try again then. I have to wait 3months for the methotrexate to leave my blood stream, so we will have to wait till march. I'm just so relieved my body has responded to the drugs as they warned me I may have to have another injection which would mean waiting till June. Its an emotional rollor coaster, I still had that element of hope the whole way through until the injection and then I just wanted it all to be over so I could put it behind me, which I have only just started to do this week. The thought of getting pregnant again fills me with absolute fear as this was our first, so maybe I need a few months to get over it and maybe you will too.

So sorry SKG. And the others who have been suffering too. Must be awful for you, thank goodness Mumsnet is here for you to chat to other people who understand and can support you.

not sure if I can wait tbh. I know that I took the MAP and I never wanted another baby, but being pregnant again (even if it wasn;t a proper pregnancy) has made me realise that in fact I do..

SKG - reading this thread has been like reading my own experience 18 months ago. We really wanted the baby once we discovered the MAP hadn't worked and I was so angry with myself for taking it. My HCG levels reached about 743 before I miscarried and I had two early scans, both of which revealed nothing in my womb although the pg test and hcg levels were saying otherwise.

My dr told me I only had to wait one cycle before trying again - as it was, we were geting married (hence why we took the MAP) so we decided to wait until after the wedding.
