anyone had ectopic and know what their bloods were

[Lilmisshopeful]

Just had my second results and I'm still pregnant. Hcg rose from 73 to 125 but progesterone is only 0.7. I've got to have more bloods Monday then will go to the epu once they have the results. He thinks it's likely ectopic. Just wondering if my bloods are like anyone else's xxx

oh lilmiss it so horrible when this happens. sounds just like what is happening to me.

21/10 got a positive BFP at 4+1
25/10 did a digital and got not pregnant - cue panic
26/10 HCG 29 (they suspected I would mc)
28/10 HCG 22 (5+1)
30/10 HCG 18 - started a 3 day bleed which I took as mc especially as it was clotty and stringy
6/11 HCG 243! (6+3) at this stage they suspected ectopic
7/11 scan but nothing seen
8/11 HCG 393 (wondered if it was a new pregnancy but dates didn't make it possible)
10/11 HCG 591 called back for a scan and a small 2mm something was seen in uterus but not sure what it was (7wk)
12/11 HCG 851 another scan and 2mm thing not seen, they suspect it was a blood clot.
diagnosed as pregnancy in unknown location and I was sure that it wasn't a new pregnancy, especially as levels too low for stage it should have been
13/11 HCG 951 methomextrane administered
16/11 HCG 997
19/11 HCG 649 means its working

Thanks for that reply that's really helpful. I had a dip in my bloods and a really heavy 2 day bleed too so does seem that it likely is ectopic. I'm going to be devastated if I need methotrexate as it's game over as we are stopping trying in April. I've never had ectopic had every other kind of loss suppose it's just my luck to end my journey with a full set.
So sorry your going through this too xxx

I'm so sorry both, what a horrible thing to be happening. Sending you both lots of care and support xx

How are you getting on LilMiss?

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

Still in limbo. Started getting pains yesterday and admitted to hospital today after seeing my gp he was sure it's ectopic. Had bloods done and a scan.
The scan showed no signs of pregnancy anywhere that he could see. He gave me 2 scenarios first was that I have passed the baby during the big bleed I had 15 days ago and my bloods went up but then started dropping. He thinks that's it but I've never had that and I did a test and the lines are so dark. 2nd options is that it's to tiny to find yet on a scan. Bloods due back in the morning so will soon know. He said if they have risen then it's probably a pregnancy of unknown location. He then added sorry to be blunt but even if the next scan shows a sac in the right place with progesterone so low I will miscarry. I wish there was a simple test to tell xxx

 

[babyslog]

Aw hun this feels like never ending for you i really hope its not an ectopic & im gutted for you that your havibg to go through with all of this xx

 

[Cherrybelly]

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear this. With my first pregnancy I had bleeding early on, they couldn't see anything at all on the scan, did bloods that were very low hcg but not going down (sorry I don't remember the numbers). They terrified me by saying 'pregnancy of unknown location' I had several more blood tests and eventually the numbers went down significantly and they said as long as I got a bfn within a week, I didn't have to go back. It wasn't ectopic, still not really sure.. Either mc or blighted ovum. What I'm trying to say, badly, is try not to worry. It probably isn't ectopic, they just seem to bat the whole 'unknown location' thing around without realising how scary it is to hear! Xxxxx

Hey,
It sounds a lot like one of my miscarriages :/ sorry that isn't meant to sound blunt. I was bleeding for ages bright red and the couldn't see anything on scans but hcg was rising by aboug 1.5 every time. Then about a week later i miscarried but
They confirmed it wasn't ectopic it just had stopped growing even though hcg was rising. Weeks later i still had positive pregnancy tests and i bled on and off for about 6 weeks.
Don't take everything docs say as gospel, they were going to treat me for ectopic until
I miscarried and it turned out it wasn't. Try not to panic. I was so stressed about the treatment if i was having an ectopic and tried to delay as much as possible. Xxx

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

I will hold out long as possible before letting them near me with that lol
Today's bloods are hcg 214 and progesterone still 0.7 so still going up. I'm having them repeated tomorrow as she said they might have peaked in between tests and now be on the way down. I know they ain't as I've been testing and they have gotten progressively darker. She said if they raise again then I'll have another scan and set of bloods then will need the injection. So come on body sort it out don't take away my last few tries xxz

 

[Lou1103]

How far are you supposed to be? Any progression is good though hun, I'm really hoping for you, I don't think pregnancy will ever be easy for us but we always keep the faith and i really do pray that it's enough xxx

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

5+2 ish so very early. It's the progesterone that's the biggest issue as it's to low to support a pregnancy so it's not viable it's just a case of where is it.
How you doing hun not seen you for a while xxx

 

[Lou1103]

Ahh, I've never had my progesterone measures so not sure. I know i was supposed to be 6+5 and my hcg was 800 if that helps.
I'm doing ok, pregnant again but I've moved and it's so bloody confusing in terms
Of referral etc so I'm stressed but ok. How r u? How's your little one? Xxx

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

Oh wow I missed that congrats hun really hope this one is your rainbow.
I'm doing good am nursing a broken foot lol but ok considering. He is amazing thank you he totally makes it all worth while. He certainly keeps me on my unbroken toes lol xxx

 

[Lou1103]

Aww bless him! Oh gosh, i bet it's difficult with a broken foot lol.
Thank you, it's a weird feeling. Where i used to live, the hospital was always being slated and they were brilliant! Here they're supposed to be amazing and yet I'll be lucky to have a scan at 7+5! Stressed which isn't ideal really.
He looks very cute from what i can see of the pic xxx

 

[Lou1103]

Can they not supplement you with progesterone? Xxx

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

Thanks hun he is a little cutie. Very cheeky too. Oh that's a shame about the hospital. Ask your gp see if he can help.
Because they don't know where it is they can't give me it incase it's in my tubes xxx

 

[Lou1103]

My gp referred me to the hospital but with no specific info of where i should be like epau or wherever!
Oh yeah that's true. Have u ever had an ectopic before? It's very scary xxx

 

[platypus]

oh lilmiss i'm sorry to hear things still haven't resolved. i'm not surprised that they can't see anything on a scan, apparently it needs to be 1500 before they can see any thing. hopefully you will get some answers soon.

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

I wasn't expecting them to see anything I don't even know why they bothered to look to be fair. He thought I'd already mc and my levels would be lower but that are higher again. I'm in quite a bit of pain today so hopefully my bodies going to deal with it without help.
I've had all sorts of losses but never ectopic and feels different to every other pregnancy. I don't feel anything other than cramps and slightly sensitive nips.
Just hating all the waiting and not knowing where it is makes it scarey xxx
