Hi all

Well as you are all aware I recently got my BFP two weeks ago which was a big shock.

I was so shocked but remained a little cold about the whole thing. Went the docs got my pills and potions was booked in for a scan etc etc then the bleeding started so....

Got myself down A&E last Monday spent most of the day there and up at the EPU, it wasnt looking good. HCG levels came back at 56 so they sent me home to come back Wednesday. Bleeding was like thick dark brown paint by this stage and pain was moderate.

Went back Wednesday HCG levels taken again. Came back at 46 so we thought a normal miscarriage was now inevitable so went Asda bought my paracetomal and lots of pads and settled down for the next 48 hours. Still brown sludge bleeding and moderate pain, got up Thursday felt wonderful !

Friday back down EPU, bloods taken again. Went home got a call at 2.00 HCG levels had risen to 86 ! WTF. Bleeding had gone heavier and redder by now.

Gets a phone call please come up to EPU immediately for a scan, rushed to EPU was scanned there and then - inconclusive ! By now I am scared - eventually a senior sonographer comes and scans me again....

Confirmation yolk sac is in my ovary - a fucking ectopic pregnancy ! However this is no normal pregnancy I have one baby in my tube and one inside my womb! Neither baby is alive by the way.

I believe the medical condition is a heterotopic pregnancy !

I cannot believe it I have waited months and months to conceive again. I conceive twins and one makes the other impossible.

However we now have to treat both pregnancies as an ectopic but I am naturally miscarrying the womb child !.

So I have had methotrexate yesterday and am now waiting for the onslaught - to say I am gutted is not the case I am stunned and just cant believe my bad luck. This type of pregnancy is 1 in 8000. I must be some unlucky person.

So I am now having 3 months off to lose some weight, see the recurrent miscarriage specialist (now got the appointment) and get my mind back together.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Ah fluffyblue I'm so sorry to hear this....

You must be feeling so sad, annoyed and angry right now...why is it that some people get more then their fair share of bad luck? Its good that you can look forward though - I've taken a few months off after my RMC testing and I can tell you I feel better for it, we all need a break so when you feel up to it take some 'me' time out.....good luck over the coming days xxx

Hi

Oh no I am so sorry hun this really, really sucks . I know its no consolation at all; but at least these days they recognise that its possible to have an ectopic and 'normal' mc at the same time, my friend had this a few years ago and because they were not aware of such a possibility, she ended up getting a ruptured tube that needed removing (after already going through a horrible miscarriage) and her other tube also turned out to be blocked. Even still she did get pregnant successfully again a few years later (she had two already, like yourself), despite being told she'd never be able to have a baby again. I think you're doing the right thing by taking a break and Ihope the specialist (and hopefully the right type of specialist this time) will be able to give you some answers.

Yes it is quite extraordinary they diagnosed it - i believe it was becuase my HCG levels doubled in 48 hours. Luckily my tubes are perfectly ok and fingers crossed will remain to be !
