Pregnancy of unknown location, bleeding, but HCG doubling

Hi all,

I posted the other day that I had been bleeding but found out I was pregnant. Upon being scanned by my local EPU they told me it was a pregnancy of unknown location and ectopic was possible though unlikely and I had likely miscarried.

They took a blood test and I braced myself for a low result. I was was rung and told my HCG was 246 and in the range of what they would expect and to wait for my progesterone result. The next day they rang. My progesterone was 17 which they said was on the low side again I prepared that I had already miscarried.

I had a second blood test today... My HCG has gone to 464 in 48 hours which is double and what they would see in a healthy pregnancy.... Bleeding has almost stopped and now I'm really confused. I keep bracing myself to be told it's over but it's like I keep getting a glimmer of hope that frankly I'm trying to ignore at the moment.

Wondering really if anyone has any experiences of unknown locations for pregnancies? What was the outcome? Does anyone understand progesterone levels more than could explain what level it should be at?

I'm also unsure of dates as I wasn't tracking my periods so I thought I was around 5 weeks but am possibly earlier than that....

Hi all,

A little update. I've just had follow up scan - bean is measuring just over 7 weeks lovely strong heartbeat and I have been discharged.

I'm so relieved and happy and had a big cry. If anyone reads this in the future and is in a similar situation I wish you all the luck and hope you get a happy resolution too ❤️❤️

Such lovely news! Congratulations 🥳

@Sowalk08 I'm glad you had the same outcome as me! These little beans are amazing..so much to look forward to now! I just had a 4D scan of our little boy and it was the best thing ever🫶🏼
