Pregnancy Unknown Location

[sophxx1]

Hey everyone.

From my LMP I should be 5+6 today. I had some spotting around the time of when my period would be due so I was referred to EPU. My tests have been getting consistently darker since my BFP.

I went today for an internal scan and was told there were no signs of pregnancy. Nothing was seen in the uterus or the ovaries/tubes. I am being classed as pregnancy unknown location.

Obviously the 3 outcomes are; too early, miscarriage and ectopic. I am absolutely terrified of an ectopic as I have had pain more so on one side which the doctors are aware of.

I'm back for a follow up blood test on Saturday and I am so sad and scared. Is anyone in the same situation? ❤️😔

Hi, I am sorry you are going through this.

I had an ectopic pregnancy recently and mine was diagnosed at a second scan at around the same stage of pregnancy that you are now. my heart goes out to you, dealing with the uncertainty is so hard. I knew my pregnancy wasn’t viable because I was bleeding heavily and had sharp pains but even then there was uncertainty (how much of a risk is it, what treatment options I had, how long would it take etc). Im aware it’s a bit different for you there is a still a chance of the pregnancy being there just not visible but that doesn’t make the unknown any easier!

are you able to keep yourself busy and occupied to get through to Saturday? Blood results will tell you a lot because with an ectopic they don’t follow the usual pattern. I really hope things become clearer for you then.

Sorry I don’t have much useful to say I just wanted you to know that you aren’t alone and that someone is here ‘listening’!

@WednesdayStar4 thank you for your message, it is lovely to know someone is listening.

I am going to try and keep busy, but for today I'm going to allow myself to rest and relax.

I am so sorry for your loss ❤️😔 sending love your way.

Pregnancy of Unknown Location

I found out I was pregnant on 1st August and as you can imagine me and my partner were over the moon.
On Tuesday 9th August I started to bleed this was only on wiping and continued intermittently for about 5 days. No pain. (Hoping this is only implantation bleeding)
I went to the early pregnancy clinic yesterday for an internal ultrasound and they couldn’t find anything :( my HCG level was taken and it came back at 506.
I am due to go back tomorrow 16th August for a repeat test with the hope my levels have raised.
according to last period I should be 6weeks 2days but if I go by when I had peak ovulation from test then I’m only 4weeks 2 days.

The wait is absolutely killing me and I just hope to god my HCG levels have raised and I’m just too early to see on scan.

Hi @BeckyNS

It is such a worrying time. If you are due back today they should call you within a few hours with your HCG levels.

Did they indicate that they think you are early or did they say unknown location at this time?

With your HCG levels you wouldn't show on a scan when they are that low, so praying you have miscalculated your dates.

Keep me updated ❤️
