pregnancy of unknown location and rising hcg

[Lou490]

Just looking for a bit of advice or any experiences. I have had a rough 12 months in general, a MMC last summer at 13 weeks, of which the resolution of took about a month and was traumatic physically and mentally.

We’ve had no luck since until a positive test two weeks ago but I was already bleeding (tested as unusual time for me - hoped it was implantation initially). I tested a couple of times in the following week and the tests were sadly fading, I was obviously really upset but chalked it up to a chemical pregnancy and I started to bleed again a few days after my missed period.

However, my GP has had me in for bloods and despite bleeding and fading tests, my levels look to have initially dropped (40) and are now on their way back up (90 and now 160). I have to go back for another test tomorrow. I had a full scan today and there was no evidence of of anything, anywhere.

It feels so cruel that I’d come to terms with a ‘simple’ miscarriage yet here we are again with ongoing complications with no end in sight. I’m so tired of it all, I wanted a baby, accepted a miscarriage, but now I have to yet again deal with a miscarriage plus a whole load of extra issues.

I’m so sorry for your losses and that you’re unfairly here again.
I had the same occur last summer - early ‘miscarriage’ at 6weeks - hcg dropped to 40 odd and then slowly began to rise as yours is. After lots of bloods and repeat scans they located the ectopic in my left tube. I opted for methotrexate and it resolved around 3 weeks.
Thinking of you; it’s so cruel x

Thank you, were you bleeding at all? Part of me is hoping that this will still just resolve on its own but I think I’m being naive.

Sorry if this is an upsetting question and feel free to ignore, but have you since managed to have a successful pregnancy?

Hi,

I spotted and had severe pains - scan at 6 weeks was PUL. few days later I bled quite a lot, hence the hospital and myself thinking it was an early MC. Hcg started rising again and scan confirmed ectopic in left tube so MTX taken.

we couldn’t try for 3 months after the MTX, and so started TTC again in November. I got pregnant again in February and saw baby in right place at 6 weeks with heartbeat however after some very light spotting again another scan confirmed no heartbeat. I had medical management a few weeks later and it took a good few weeks for my negative test.

Currently back to square 1 and TTC, I’m 37 x
