I’m going to have to face the fact that something is very wrong aren’t I?

I had my first positive HPT on the 29th of August.

I had pain on one side on the 7th of September that I went to A&E with on advice of my GP. My bloods were taken then (507) and 48 hours later on the 9th (1070). They had doubled and the pain had stopped so I regained some hope that all might still be well.

A scan this Tuesday revealed an empty sac that might have had something in it, but they couldn’t be sure. A blood test from the same day showed a hcg level of 4013 (should have been around 8000 if it was doubling by then) and one yesterday, that I just got the results from, is only 5308.

I have to wait for a phone call on Monday to book another scan as they are worried it may be ectopic. I’m on strict orders to go to A&E straight away if the pain or heavy bleeding starts.

This is my last shot at this as I just can’t face it anymore (three previous miscarriages, one at 18 weeks).

I keep frantically googling, hunting for any slither of hope that I know deep down is not going to be true. I’m also now terrified that it is ectopic and that any moment now I’m going to rupture.

I just want it all over but feel I am stuck in limbo.

Best of luck for tomorrow, I know this horrible uncertainty all too well.

I had a similar-ish experience in that the doctor didn’t see a good enough rise in HCG between two blood tests so I was told to go home and pretty much wait for the inevitable.

A week later nothing had happened so I went back to my doctor expecting to schedule a D&C. She did a scan and we saw a baby and a heartbeat Shock Her theory was that there were originally 2 but the second one didn’t make it, hence the HCG levels rising but not enough to double. She saw what she thought was a second collapsed sac on the ultrasound and told me it was something called Vanishing Twin Syndrome.

Good luck for tomorrow Flowers.

Hopefully this is redundant info, but if the worst does happen you might want to look into Dr Shehata's work with recurrent miscarriages. There are many threads on here from women who have followed his, or equivalent, treatment plans. It is possible to be referred to him on the NHS depending on where you live, albeit the treatment options are more limited.
