Hi I really need some advice/support. This week has been one of the hardest I could ever imagine. After trying for over a year to conceive and tracking cycles/ ovulation etc we found out we were expecting. I thought that all the upset and worry was finally behind us and we got what we felt like we waited so long for (I appreciate people
Have waited so much longer but anytime is horrendous for anyone). I am 24 and my partner is 28. Due to COVID we booked a private scan only to be told it was a pregnancy of unknown location and their was not even a sac. They told us to take another test in the morning and if it was stil positive to attend the early pregnancy unit. I had been taking pregnancy tests since we found out and according to my last period was 7 weeks on the day of the scan. At the hospital the next day bloods were taken and the report from the private scan had actually stated their was a sac measuring 16mm but nothing else. She said at the private scan she couldn’t see anything that made her think it was ectopic. I’ve had no pain bleeding etc. My HCG levels came back at 38,000 on Saturday and so they felt a scan would be best on the Monday. On Monday the sac had grown to 19mm but nothing more in it. They also believed to see a potentially collapsed cyst or something near my ovary but the sac was definitely where it needed to be. I am going back again on Monday (a week later) for a re-scan if they still see nothing that means it’s all over as it should be over 25mm by that point. Is their any hope? What will happen? No one took the time to explain I am crushed and I don’t feel like I will ever get through this. My heart is breaking. I am having horrible symptoms I feel sick all day and everything smells awful and I’m struggling to eat lots of different foods. My boobs hurt and none of these things had subsided which makes it worse to think my body is supporting a baby that just isn’t there. What a shattered dream.
