Hey I'm new on here and just want to say, sorry if this drags on, but here goes.
Me and my partner have been trying for just over a year now, and got our first +ive test 20 th Jan, the next night I went to A&E with spotting and mild pain who did a blood test and told me to go to the GAU the following day (22rd) for a scan.
At the appointment the next day me and my partner were told that my hormone levels were only 157 and they couldn't scan me, they said they'd re-do the blood tests in a week and see if they had gone up any. The next week (29th) they did blood tests again and didn't actually give me the figures but said that they hadn't gone up as much as they should have so said they'd re-do them in 48 hours (3st), so we went back again, waited 5.5 hours to be told they suspected it was ectopic and i had to stay in. After 48 hours in hosp, they still couldn't be sure and couldn't scan me as my hormone levels we still only 950 (10 days after 1st blood test), and sent me home, telling me to go back in a week (6th feb).
so we were left in limbo for a week. We went back as instructed on the friday and had a scan which showed a sac but nothing else, we were told not to worry as they had taken more blood ( which came back at 3025) as it could just be too early to see any thing, but they'd re scan once a week untill they had an answer. The next scan was an internal one which showed the sac and what the sonographer said was a possible early heartbeat. so we left with more hope than we'd had since the begining of this whole thing, expecting the next week to see our baby!
The next monday (16th) we went back for another scan only to have some snotty sonographer, after a 2 min scan say "its not growing" go round to GAU and they'll give you more info!!! Back at GAU they said it was up to us how to deal with this and sent us on our way. We decided to let nature take its course, as I couldn't face any of the other options, but we still had to go back in 10 days time.
So we went back on Thursday to be told the sac is still there and empty, the nurse didn't seem too impressed that we didn't want to opt for a D&C and has sent us on our way to let nature take its course.
Sorry this is so long but I really needed to get it all off my chest in the hope it might help me deal with it a bit more ( as I don't feel I am), my poor bf has been so good through all this, but i just don't think he really understands how I feel.
