Hi everyone 😊 after having a beautiful baby boy in October 2015, last year me and my fiancé decided to try again. I conceived in August 2017 and unfortunately started spotting 😟 after lots of blood tests showing my hCG was rising slowly, and scans which didn’t show any signs of a pregnancy, they found a growth on my left ovary and I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. I had to have a methotrexate injection which was just awful!
Since then, I’ve had 2 other pregnancies - one in February in which I had more spotting and had a miscarriage at just over 5 weeks, and the last one in April which was absolutely awful. My pregnancy symptoms were really strong and I had no spotting, and an early scan showed a yolk sac 😊 but then after another scan at about 7 weeks, they found the baby stopped growing at 6 weeks and didn’t have a heartbeat. A week later this was confirmed and I had to have an induced miscarriage 😟 and even then pregnancy ‘tissue’ as they call it was stuck and a doctor had to pull it out!
Even though we were desperate for a sibling for our son, we decided to wait a few cycles. Well my period was due on the 5th, and I had a positive test yesterday morning 😊 I’m just so scared, after 3 losses, my hopes aren’t high! I’m having a scan at the EPU on the 20th (I’ll be 6w 2d) and I don’t know how I’m going to cope.
At the moment at 5w exactly, I’ve got some symptoms but I’m worried it’s not enough. I did feel a bit sick this morning but not much, and I’m constantly seeing and I’m constipated. Also lots of CM (clear with a tinge of yellow sometimes). Do these symptoms sound ok for 5w? My hCG was low with my ectopic so I’m scared 😟
What’s worrying me though is sometimes I get a sharp pain above my right hipbone. It’s not agonising but it happens a few times a day, usually when I sit on the toilet. I’m terrified of another ectopic but I’m hoping this could be normal, has anyone had anything similar?
Thank u 😊
