Cant find my thread so will just do a new one - my update


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.

so sorry to hear that - hope you're feeling better soon and the process isn't too painful for you. It must have been a horrible blow.

Oh my gosh fluffy. Must have been very galling to hear. Don't know what to say except that I hope you will be taken care of and that you don't go through too much pain. You aren't the only one who feels bad luck showered upon them. After my daugher passed away shortly after her birth in April, I got my BFP 10 weeks ago but am having a missed MC. What are the chances of that happening in 6 months? My consultant called it an accident of nature. I am taking one long break from all of this once everything leaves my body. Lots of love xx

well this is the whole bloody piffel !

We have been seeing a specialist for 3 months who turns out to be a fertility specialist who has pumped me full of stimulants to help me conceive there is nothing wrong with me conceiving !

The other specialist thinks this loss is just over stimulation which has resulted in the ovary pregnancy.

The specialist has referred me to St Marys and Heartlands Recurrent Miscarriage Clinic and both hubbs and I have got the chromosomal blood testing on Friday so we are starting the process. I have an urgent referral in and hopefully will get the appointment next week.

As they have said they dont think this loss is linked to my RMC becuase its an ectopic which are just "bad luck" !

I'm sorry you've had such a bad time of it, but it's good that you're now under the care of the right specialist who will hopefully help you on your journey.
