Hi girls
Feel I needed to write this as Im gobsmacked at the min.
As you may know I posted on a thread yesterday about being diagnosed with another ectopic well things have changed, heres my story.
Bloods taken Wednesday were 3372 (not 3672 as i previously posted) so I had an ultrasound arranged for Friday at 12.30 at the Miscarriage Clinic at Heartlands Hospital, so off we went all eager and excited only to begin the scan and faces dropped, she poked and prodded for 10 minutes and couldnt find anything (the scan was on a laptop type thing and the room was tiny and her hand was way behind my leg etc).
She then preceeded to tell me that she saw a 2cm growth on my right ovary and this pregnancy was ectopic. I was mortified and thought not again.
Anyway because my levels were high they were concerend about rupture etc so I had to be immediately admitted. I was admitted to emergency gynae and a theatre spot was arranged for 8pm last night.
Anway further HCG were taken and results came back at 6.45pm they had DOUBLED. This threw the doctor into panic as it didnt make sense (this was a different doctor from the one who diagnosed the ectopic). He then decided that he would wait and scan me in the morning, this morning. So at 11am I was scanned again - on a different machine in a larger room with my bum propped up on a cushion. He put the wand straight and and tutted and the two nurses looked at each other - he said "whats this then" I asked what and he said dont get alarmed.
He then had a really good look for over 15 minutes at my ovaries and couldnt find anything apart from a corpeus luteum cyst on my right ovary aka the mass !
He also checked some "canal" type thing that apparently fills with fluid if the pregnancy is ectopic and that was clear so NO ECTOPIC PREGNANCY
So he then comes back to the beginning turns the machine round and there is a pregancy in my uterus. Showing a 12.5mm gestational sac and a 4.5mm yolk sac and the tiny beginning of a fetal pole - I just broke down.
So here I am at home and still pregnant. I have to go back in a week for another scan where they expect to see a heartbeat.
It just goes to prove that you should never expect anything to be normal.
Thanks for listening and I know its hard to believe but this did happen and i have a pic as well (just need to get it on here)!
