Just wondering if anyone has had a similar situation!
Was checked into the ER Friday with sharp right side pain in my ovary and bleeding. They took my HCG and it was 950 (up from 327 on Tuesday). They did a external and transvaginal ultrasound, saw nothing. I thought the tech was incompetent but didn't want to wait for hours for a new one so they discharged me with a "wait and see diagnosis" for an ectopic pregnancy.
I went back in today for my follow-up and my levels are at 2,000 so, they're doubling. When they did my ultrasounds they didn't see anything in my uterus yet the but the new tech was able to find the mass in my right ovary (which I think was there all along).
ER doctor overreacted, said I had an ectopic and needed surgery right away. I requested an OBGYN consult. She said that since my pain and bleeding had improved and not worsened since Friday she wasn't convinced I needed anything at all just yet. She diagnosed more "wait and see" until Wednesday and I'm going to go to her private office and we're going to use the ultrasound machine there which she says is way better than the one in the ER.
I've told every doctor I've encountered since the beginning that during my last miscarriage I had bilateral ovarian cysts that resolved themselves. But for some reason I was almost pressured into surgery today! WTH?
I think I likely have a cyst that possibly ruptured Friday, and possibly a viable pregnancy since my levels are doubling and they don't typically increase properly during an ectopic nor a miscarriage, they'd be stagnant if it was ectopic and dropping if I started having a miscarriage Friday afternoon.
Anyone else have this? Been told they have an ectopic but it was just a cyst? Successful pregnancy after this sort of issue in the first 6 weeks?
TYVMIA!
