Will try and make this as short & simple as I can!

LMP 26-31 May.

DTD 2nd, 3rd & 15th June.

Positive clear blue test (stating 1-2 weeks on 20/06)

Got a scan this Monday past due to previous MC, unable to see anything in uterus or tubes etc, negative urine test at hospital. Referred for bloods, 127 on Monday, repeated Wednesday at 256, today repeated and 372 so not doubled as expected. They’ve now told me they’ll leave me for 2 weeks and check bloods again but basically not to get my hopes up and there’s a chance it can be ectopic.

Has Anyone else experienced this?

Sorry you haven't had any responses, I don't have any relevant experience to add unfortunately but I didn't want to read and run. I don't think not being able to see anything on a scan so early would be that unusual, you would have been just about 4 weeks I think depending on when you ovulated which seems really early to me. The negative test and HCG combined do seem a bit more worrying but not conclusive so early on. I think its unfortunately a case of "wait and see" which is so so tough 😞

In a previous pregnancy I had a scan at about 4 weeks and they couldn’t see anything. It was a Pregnancy of unknown location. I had a scan the following week and they could see the sac in the right place and said it was just too early last time so it can definitely happen. That pregnancy unfortunately didn’t progress any further though.
I would be more worried RE HCG levels as you really want them to be doubling x have they organised another scan x

They have just said they’ll rescan me and do bloods on the 11-07, giving it two weeks. Just a bit worried as bloods doubled mon-wed then wed-fri have only raised and not doubled:( x

It is really difficult but it is normal for them to leave you 2 weeks before re scanning and taking bloods. I have been in this position twice. Sending hugs x

I think the fact that your HCG hasn’t doubled is a concern and I would be preparing for an unfortunate loss. I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Sending love
