Hi
I am new here and need some advice, if anyone can help. I apologise for the detailed info!
I found out i was pregnant 8 days ago, my periods have always been irregular so it is difficult to know when i ovulated, but i think conception was around 19/20 days ago. The day after i found out i had some lower stomach cramps and had light bleeding,which continued until yesterday,it is not normal to my period and i only had a very small amount of clotting, whichwas barely noticeable. I went to hospital who tested my hcg levels which were then only 50. The doctor could not see whether my cervix was open or closed but predicted i had miscarried. 2 days ago i had another lot of blood tests which showed my hcg was 480, the doctor said i was at high risk of ectopic and i had not miscarried. They did an internal scan and could not find anything in the uterus or my tubes, i now have to go back to doctors for blood tests every 2 days. Is it possible that the baby is so small it couldn't be detected on the scan, or do you think it is likely it will become ectopic? The scan showed the lining in my uterus was smooth, i am not sure what that means. I am scared and an emotional wreck, i have been on google far to much which is scaring me more every time i look (which is all day pretty much).
Please can anyone give me advice or does anyone have any ideas about what is happening to me and the baby?!
thanks for listening
