Hey ladies,
I would just like some advice or reassurance from somebody who’s been in the same situation..
I found out I was pregnant 23rd March, last period was 21st February. I had a small bleed on 25th March which lasted 1 day and wasn’t heavy enough to fill a pad.
I called 111 for advice and they advised me to go to my local early pregnancy unit for a scan.. Based on period I should have been 4 weeks but nothing could be seen on the scan so it was classed as a pregnancy of unknown location. They took my HCG levels and they were only 16.5 so very low. I wasn’t called back for a repeat blood test as they expected this to end in miscarriage due to the low levels, I was advised to take another pregnancy test in 3 weeks and if it was still positive to go back in for a scan.
So 3 weeks went by, in which time I have had pregnancy symptoms like sore boobs, nausea, fatigue & frequent urination. I retested and I got another positive, even darker than my original test. I went back into the EPU for another scan but they couldn’t find anything yet again, I haven’t had any pain, tenderness or bleeding since.. after a while this was found on the transvaginal scan (see pic attached) on my first scan report it said “gestational sac: absent” and on my second it says “gestational sac: uncertain” and the impression states “probable early normally sited pregnancy.” They explained the possibility of a failed pregnancy but can’t completely exclude an ectopic pregnancy but no obvious ectopic was seen on the scan. My HCG levels on the same day had sky rocketed to 3244. I am due back in next Thursday for another scan.
If anyone has been in a similar situation please share your stories. I am preparing myself for the worst but I am still clinging onto the little hope I have left. Thank you 🙏🏼
