Ectopic

I have today been told I’m having an ectopic pregnancy it’s on my right side . I’ve had pain on my right side and heavy bleeding on and off for 2 weeks now. My HCG levels have been dropping so the doctor said my body could be passing the pregnancy on its own and right now they won’t do anything! Im going back tomorrow again for repeat bloods. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar and if so did you pass the pregnancy naturally I’ve seen a lot of people say there tube ruptured after similar circumstances and I’m terrified 😔

Hi I’m going through this right now myself. Had what I thought was my period 10th August but continued to bleed heavily. GP suggested I do a test and that’s how I found out I was already pregnant. I’ve been in and out of hospital for bloods since then and my hcg has been going up and down 💀 had another heavy bleed after the first one but hcg still crept up. It’s now started dropping again it’s currently at 66. They were never able to locate mine on a scan since the hcg levels are too low so not entirely sure where it’s located. I had emergency surgery for a suspected ectopic in January, in light of that that’s why they’ve given me so much time to see if it can resolve itself, so that I don’t have to go through that again. I know expectant management is completely appropriate if your hcg levels are going down! So that’s what they’re doing for you currently. It can be a long process but you just have to be super careful to keep an eye on any pain or other worrying symptoms.

@Ash Thank you for this!! Yeah just so strange the last 2 weeks my hcg has been going up went up from 21 to 550 over the course of 2 weeks and only dropped this week down to 300! But back at the hospital today for more bloods we will just have to see what happens 😔 Sorry your experiencing this for a second time and I do hope it works out naturally for you x

No problem at all. Have they been able to see your pregnancy on a scan, is that how they know it’s ectopic? They can resolve themselves so they are probably hoping that’ll happen for you! It’s a good sign if your hcg is dropping. When I first had bloods mine had dropped by half at the 48 hour check, so I was told I was having a miscarriage, but then it started creeping back up again 😬 mines never been officially confirmed as ectopic but with the hcg going up and down I’m fairly certain that’s how it’s presenting. Keeping everything crossed for us both!

@Ash Yes I have had 2 scans this week the first they couldn’t see anything and then the one I had yesterday morning they confirmed they could see it! I was certain it was an ectopic before the scan anyway just because of the symptoms I was having and my hcg going up but very slowly was a good indicator! I’m really hoping it does resolve on its own hcg did drop again last night so it’s a good sign! Bless you it’s so hard when they can’t see anything on a scan! Definitely keeping my fingers crossed for you 😘
