Potential Ectopic Pregnancy

Hi

I have just created this account to see if anyone has had a similar experience.

I found out I was pregnant (5 weeks 2 days from first day of last period). I then went on holiday and on 2nd October experienced bad period pains and lower back pain, a 'normal' period and some clots, including one clot which was very unusual and something I hadn't seen before. I am no longer bleeding at all and feel perfectly normal in myself. I assumed a miscarriage, however I would now be 7 weeks 5 days.

I had a scan on Monday (three days ago) and they said there is nothing in the womb however as they can't see the pregnancy and i am testing positive i need bloods doing to rule out ectopic.

My first bloods were - 435 and my second bloods were 428 (48 hours later) which I have been told is worrying as with a miscarriage they should drop a lot more than this and indicates ectopic.

I had an emergency scan today and again was told it's a 'pregnancy of unknown location' as they can't see anything.

I need to go back to the hospital tomorrow for more bloods.

I was just wondering if anyone had something similar to the above - and whether this can be 'normal' to happen with my HCG levels only dropping by 7 in 48 hours with a miscarriage?

I understand I am in the best hands and being looked after thoroughly, but it's more to calm some of my anxieties as this is my first pregnancy and I feel very confused and anxious about the whole situation.

Many thanks in advance.

This sounds very similar to my ectopic pregnancy. Slowly falling HCG levels. I was monitored for a couple of weeks where I had bloods repeated and then signed off once my levels were around 0. Take care of yourself. X

Thank you for the reply!

my levels ended up going to 535 on third blood test and had another scan today which shows absolutely nothing anywhere so will wait for the results tomorrow.

did you have medical management at all?

Many thanks and sorry to hear you went through this also x

I'm sorry to hear you're no further on in solving the mystery. I had expectant management so no surgery and no injection just a 'wait and see'.
