Pregnancy in unknown location, laparoscopy performed - another angel lost x

[lishmin]

Hi all, some of you may know I miscarried on the 15th April at 11 weeks. I found out I was pregnant again 2 weeks ago but a very faint line that got no darker.

Doctors visits, blood tests with slow rising HCG's, hopital admisssion suspected eptopic. Discharged. Back for scan after 24 hours.... rushed to theatre, suspected eptopic, 2 incisions, pregnancy unable to be found but a bleed on the right ovary found. This is a suspected eptopic which had miscarried.

48 hours later and I am home, glad I have not lost a tube, sad I still dont have a successful pregnancy. Going to give my body time to heal now, maybe 4-6 months. Feeling slightly numb.

Any similar stories or words of hope xxx

Hi Hun, this is my "specialised subject", I had a PUL in December last year, thought I had miscarried after a bleed and an empty uterus on a scan, but after a week my pg symptoms were increasing and I was testing pos. Though the line never got darker, which I had noticed before I started bleeding, so I was worried even before then. I was treated with a shot of methotrexate that didn't act fast enough so had a second, then a month of blood tests whilst my hcg crawled slowly down. It seemed to take forever and I thought I'd never see a day when i could try again, for physical reasons but also emotional ones. but I am there now, I started trying about three months ago but only last month did I do it with any determination and excitement at the though of being pg again, it has taken six months for me to feel like this. I also still get pain in my right side, well more a niggle, and feel that this is where my pg was, I take comfort from that rather than thinking it was just "floating" about, I feel it had a home at least.

you will get there hun, it's a nightmare and so sad, this month will see me pass my due date and I'm finding it difficult, but I survived and I will have my baby, as you will I'm sure.

Take care and look after yourselve and your oh.

Thank you Looloobelle, I was starting to think that I was unusual as I have been struggling to get my head around the fact it is PUL. Seems odd to think they could not find it but hopefully the bleed they found was the baby so at least like u say I know it had tried to settle somewhere.

My levels are going down luckily without methotrexate which they were going to adminster this morning had the levels not gone down. Think the Laporoscopy gave my body the nudge in the right direction to deal with it itself.

I am now going to give my body time to heal but it is so hard to think about trying again for the fear of a third loss and any more surgery. Maybe as you say the strength will come with time.

Mom ttc, the early pregnancy unit have agreed to run some basic level tests but not a full set as you need to have 3 miscarriages before the NHS will pay for them. We are considering going to see a private consultant.
