Hi everyone. This is my first post and just looking for some opinions really.
Brief history: I had a ruptured ectopic a few years ago resulting in emergency surgery and left tube removal.
I got pregnant again and went on to have my amazing beautiful boy over a year later who was born by emergency section.
Then last summer I had a missed miscarriage. It was diagnosed on an early scan (which they give me due to previous ectopic). I had no spotting, bleeding or signs at all so that came as a shock. It took 6 weeks from finding out the baby had died for me to miscarry.
I’m pregnant again now at suspected 7 weeks and had an early scan yesterday. It was an internal scan and it was quite painful-don’t remember them being painful before?! The nurses face was the exact same as when looking at the screen last summer for my mmc-kind of screwed up and looking at the screen as if confused if you know what I mean. Straight away my heart sank as it didn’t look promising.
She said ‘I can’t really tell what I’m looking at here’ (same as last time!) she said I was looking like 6+1 weeks and that there was a bleed. She could see a baby and a flicker of a heartbeat which she ‘would like to be stronger’. There was also something on the screen that looks like it might have started off as a twin pregnancy (another area next to the sac). She also said that there was an ‘echo-dense area on my ovary’ which she thinks is unlikely to be, but she can’t rule out,an ectopic. Apparently it’s very rare but it can happen that sometimes you can have a pregnancy in the womb and one outside it?!
So anyway now I’m worried sick! I have to go back in just under 2 weeks for another scan and she said only time will tell,I might miscarry or the pregnancy might go on to be ok.
I hate this waiting,I almost wish I’d never went for the scan as at least then I didn’t know and what would have happened would have happened without me worrying.
I’m also worrying that the scan might have done something as it was so painful,I know they say there’s no risk but I’m not sure 😞
I guess I’m just wondering if anyone has had anything similar? I’ve had no bleeding or spotting and yet this bleed was discovered on the scan. Also the fact that the heartbeat wasn’t as strong as she would have liked it to be. It seems likely that it’s going wrong doesn’t it? 😞
My husband is the only person that knows I’m pregnant so hopefully will help just being able to get it out on here and tell others how I’m feeling.
Also should mention that I’m 40 so my age might have something to do with it all too.
Thanks everyone, hope you can shed some light on it all xxxx
