Pregnant after ectopic

11 months ago I lost my baby and my right tube due to ab ectopic pregnancy. 4 days ago I found out I was pregnant again. I have a scan tomorrow morning. I'm so scared of it being another ectopic. Every little niggle is making me panic and I'm convinced everytime I go to the toilet I'll see blood. I'm driving myself crazy testing constantly. Seeing If the line gets darker. I really want this baby to stick. I know I'm at greater risk of another ectopic plus I have endometriosis. I'm getting stomach pains but it's more stomach than low down. I'm hoping the tests are a good sign.

Hi! I had an ectopic last year. I'm currently 7+6 and I was CONVINCED this pregnancy was ectopic because of the pain I was having near my right ovary. I even had an earlier scan because my GP got me an appointment at the surgical assessment unit as I was that worried. Turns out it was all ok and baby is in the correct place. I was so shocked because I knew for certain it was history repeating itself.

Your scan will offer so much reassurance for you!

I had an ectopic, then a healthy pregnancy, then another ectopic on the same bloody side, and then another healthy pregnancy.

Your early scan will tell you for sure, keeping everything crossed for you xxxx

So sorry for your loss. The scan tomorrow will give you reassurance!

I am currently 38+4 after an ectopic last year and felt exactly how you are feeling now when finding out. Totally normal and understandable to feel how you are feeling right now.

I hope all goes tomorrow for you Flowers

I had an ectopic and lost a tube and then got pregnant again. I was also utterly convinced it was going to be another ectopic and I’d have lost all my chances. Every single niggle would drive me insane. I took 14 pregnancy tests.
It was the most stressful time!
I also got an early scan through the hospital due to my increased risk of ectopic. Thankfully, it showed the baby was in the right place but then I was convinced I would miscarry. But knowing it was in the right place was a huge relief.
Im now in my third trimester and everything is going really well so I really hope you have the same outcome.
Pregnancy after a miscarriage is terrifying. After an ectopic, it’s just awful. The fear is another level: You have my sympathy.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, I really hope (and am sure) it will all work out well for you!

I had an ectopic and lost a tube about 18 months ago. Now 22 weeks. Good luck with your scan.

So scan this morning didn't show anything. So have had bloods taken with a repeat in 2 days. Todays bloo levels were 158. So not very high. Really going that means just earlier than I thought but I'm now convinced I will miscarry. Just wish I knew one way or another.

Latest update. Hcg on Monday was 158 hcg today is 291 which is about 85% increase In 48 hours. Another scan booked for Monday 9th. Really hoping to actually see something then. Still worrying now and cramping a bit if I sit for too long. Hate the wait and hate that I can't let myself get excited.
