Hi, so , this will be slightly long, but any advice or words of wisdom would be hugely appreciated. 2 years ago I got the Mirena coil fitted. Without going to off topic, this worked great for me for 18 months but after 6 months my periods returned and something just didn’t feel right.
I missed my last period, took a test, and to my surprise was positive. I’m only young and in no position to have a child, so made the hard decision to look towards an abortion. I attended an appointment where they raised concern as they were unable to see the pregnancy.
I was referred to hospital and had both an external and internal ultrasound. They could see a patch of liquid in both my uterus and my right side ovary. They did not mention the liquid in my ovary however. They asked to do an examination which they did, and removed my coil (I’d just like to add here that my coil strings were cut way too short and they really struggled to remove it). When she did something, I believe she said she was moving my cervix slightly, I had agonising pain in my lower right side. So bad that I shouted out and cried immediately. Agony.
They again raised concern that this was a warning sign of an ectopic pregnancy and requested a round of bloods. I had a second round and they compared the two and my HCG levels had increased, not doubled, but gone up by around 70%.
I was then asked to come back again, which I did today, and had another scan done, which showed the liquid in my uterus (blood) which the Dr said he was not concerned about. He noted at this point about the liquid in my right ovary which had been there, I just wasn’t aware of it. It was identical to how it had looked in the previous scan, however there was only a matter of days between these, so even if it was a pregnancy, there likely wouldn’t be much if any growth at all.
Bouncing back to yesterday, I had some bleeding but just as I wiped and not proper red. Quite watery. This continued slightly today. Until now, where I have had a relatively large bleed, nothing CRAZY but a fair few wipes of proper blood. I did take a picture but didn’t want to gross anybody out! I called the hospital and explained the Dr said today he would expect to see bleeding as he can see it in my uterus, however I was told to call if I’m bleeding.
They had my blood results back and my HCG is still increasing, so they don’t believe I’m miscarrying, but won’t give me any further information.
I’m really at wits end now and just want to know if I am experiencing the start of an ectopic pregnancy.
Does anyone have literally ANY idea or a similar experience they could share? I’m obviously quite concerned and not getting much from the hospital other than ‘we’re just not quite sure yet’. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
TLDR: Got pregnant on IUD, can’t see pregnancy in uterus, patch of blood in uterus, unidentified liquid in right ovary, HCG levels still increasing.
