Hi Everyone!!
Sorry a bit of a long one and not really sure where to post, but I’m really confused and could use some reassurance or help.
This will be my 3rd pregnancy, the first 2 were IVF as we are “infertile”.
We don’t use contraception due to above. I had my period as normal on 11 Feb and it lasted 5 days (normal) then a week later had a bleed which lasted for about an hour, I called the doctor and made an appointment to go in on the Monday as this isn’t normal for me. Curiosity got the better of me and I took a test which came back positive!!
A few days later I started spotting (brown discharge on wiping.....sorry tmi), I told my doctor they took bloods (hcg 1900) and they arranged an appointment at the epu for a dating scan for 23 Feb as the test was taken just after my period and was a solid positive, on the internal scan they saw a tiny tiny sac but no yolk, they took bloods and my hcg levels where dropping (1450) they told me I was having a miscarriage....devastated!
I was having all the normal symptoms of pregnancy but they said they have to monitor me to make sure the levels continue to drop so arranged more bloods, bloods taken on 25 Feb and hcg is on the rise (1999).
I started bleeding on 4 March, like a period but lighter than normal and no clots.
Epu booked me in for another internal scan on 7 march and nothing was found, the scan was done incredibly fast..I’m surprised she actually found my uterus in the time it took her to do the scan, anyway more bloods taken and levels have risen again (2090). The epu passed me onto the consultant at the unit who said that he’s decided to give me the methotrexate injection (to get rid of the “pregnancy”) I’m really not comfortable with as they are going off the last scan and said themselves they are unsure what’s going on. I have asked for another scan / second opinion which is booked for 14 March.
I’m really confused and really scared! has anyone else been though similar and had a healthy pregnancy??
Thanks
