i've just been told that they'll prob try on ur tummy 1st then if they don't get a clear pic then they well do internal!
good luck! xx

Thats what they did with me. They told me I needed a full bladder and so I drank LOADS of water to the point of being uncomfortable, thinking that I'd get a better pic and when they tried to do the one on my tummy all they could see was my bladder..... So they got me to have a wee and they did an internal one and we could see the gestational sac and the yolk sac.

Hi -
Sorry you're not having much joy with the MW. I have been in a similar position. I havn't actually had an ectopic before, but I have endometriosis and have had it in my tubes, which makes me an "at risk" of ectopic.
My GP has been great - He has wanted to hold off for aslong as possible for the scan as he said the further along you are the more the scan can tell you. I have had period like pains, which he was not worried about.
He made the decision to send me for HCG blood tests over a few days. If the hormone levels increase correctly, then you can almost rule out ectopic.(mine went from 2100 to 7998 in 3 days!!)
With these levels it has given us another week or more if possible before they give me a scan. he has left the decision for a scan up to me- but he is more than happy that it is not ectopic, but ubderstands my worry!- could you maybe do the blood tests of you can't get a scan?
Also - I haven't been appointed a MW yet - my GP is my port of call.
Hope you get the news you long for!
