Hi all.
Iv never wrote on one of these discussion pages before but I feel so alone I thought I'd sign up and see if anyone has experienced the same as me.
I found out I was pregnant about 3 weeks ago. Had an early ultrasound (vaginal scan) as I didn't know how far along I was and was told I was around 5 weeks, the gestation sack could be seen but no baby. Was told to come back in a week for another scan. In the meantime I was admitted to A&E while I was at work because I had really bad abdominal pain and could barely walk. Someone else scanned me in hospital (vaginal scan) and told me I was 4 weeks. Again, no baby just an empty sac. I had my HCG blood test done which was showing 10,000. A few days later I had another internal vaginal scan off another midwife who told me I was 6 weeks and 2 days. But again no baby or yolk sack. Just a gestation sac.i had my bloods done a week later and my HCG is now 26,500 but still no baby. The midwife told me my HCG should be a little higher. I have been told they aren't ruling out eptopic and they aren't ruling out a blighted ovum (don't know if iv got that term right). I'm booked in for another scan tomorrow and more blood tests. I'm so frustrated and anxious not knowing what's going on and iv been told different dates off the U/S I feel really confused. I have had no bleeding. I have been told if they don't see anything on the scan tomorrow that they will just keep scanning me each week until they see something or until I misscarry naturally? How do they rule out eptopic pregnancy? That's all I keep hearing off everyone who has scanned me that they 'aren't ruling it out' how come not one of them have ruled it out? It could be growing somewhere else for all I know and could be getting more dangerous but no one has actually ruled out eptopic for me? I feel so alone and in the dark with what's happening inside of me. I'm getting told different things off each person I see medically.
I also asked if I have miscarried than what happens and they said they give me pills to take so it passes but I have had a termination years ago and opted for the pills and it was the most painful thing iv ever had to go through. I'm still scarred from it to this day. I have a 6 year old daughter already and I can honestly say the tablets you take to have a termination is more painful than childbirth. I would rather have a surgical abortion but have been told they won't surgically remove it until they can see a baby in the sac? But if they saw a baby in the sac i wouldnt need to get it removed? So confused.
I know it's a difficult one but any help would be much appriciated.
