Hi.
Had an early scan at nearly 6 weeks. Nothing could be seen in the womb. They thought miscarriage, but are also concerned about ectopic.
I had no bleeding or intense pain. Just some cramps yesterday. None today. The blood tests for hcg did not yet come out.
I'm quite scared as I don't know what I should pay attention to...
Any advice?
Thanks so much!

Ectopic with no symptoms ?

I work in obstetric sonography. You do not need to go to A&E unless having very heavy bleeding or sudden excruciating pain. They won't do anything. Have you had a second scan scheduled? You should have. It's very common to not see anything at 6 weeks and it's standard practice to be told about the inability to rule out ectopic pregnancies. This doesn't mean you have one. There are several other clinical indicators. Plus very sharp sudden pain, shoulder tip pain, dizziness and sickness. It's very likely this is just your body beginning to miscarry. They should be re scanning you in 7 days as standard. The nurse will have discussed this all with you at your EPU appointment. If not, ring the EPAU department tomorrow morning for clarity.
