Hi,

Sorry this may be a long one. I have been TTC for 9 years I had 2 ectopics previously one resulting in me losing a tube, I have recently found out I am pregnant again, my hcg levels were in the 2000s at 5 weeks 2 days, I have to return tomorrow for more bloods and a scan, I just keep having a feeling something isn't right. I don't have any bleeding just the odd pain cramping now and again and a funny feeling beside my belly button. I also have a tethered spinal cord that I am terrified will cause major problems in pregnancy. I don't actually know where I'm going with this post other than looking for others to talk to.

Has anyone got a tethered cord and had a normal pregnancy, also what was everyone's hcg levels at 5+ weeks. I'm hoping tomorrow they will see something on the scan.

Thank you! Back and forth for bloods they think possibly another ectopic, hcg was 4200 and nothing was seen on the scan but there was something on my ovary

I'm sorry 😞 there are no words. How awful.

I honestly have no words, went in yesterday as told ectopic and did bloods hcg only went up by 500, advised to stay in and will have methotrexate jag or surgery. Scan to check size of ectopic before deciding if it's jag or surgery...there it is a tiny 5 week 2 day gestational sac ..with a baby and a heartbeat all in the correct place. I am absolutely shocked, I was told this was definitely an ectopic
