Early pregnancy ectopic
Common Questions and Answers about Early pregnancy ectopic
pregnant
ve has an U/S and they could not find any sac. They also were not able to see any fluid indicating an ectopic pregnancy. My Dr has been monitoring my HGC levels, which are not doubling as they should be. On my first visit they were in the 2000 range, then a few days later reached 4000, then 2 days later 6000, but next they only went up to 7000.
m really confused and scared and really hope that somebody here might know what is going on ok so last month I started feeling sick for like 2-3 weeks straight and i was bloated and kind of backed up at first it didnt occur to me that i might be pregnant but after a while i took it into concideration I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative after i took the test i started to get bad headaches and cramps and moodswings and alos felt tierd all the time also my boobs hurt for like one day
I had an early scan and my sac was seen in the right place but no baby but i was only 5 week so too early to see baby.
I went to the hospital this morning for cramping & back pain i am 5w2d they did 3 vaginal US and couldnt really see anything my pregnancy hormone level was 1600 they told me i could have an ectopic pregnancy or it could be just too early i go bak monday for another blood test & US did this happen to anybody else before?
I made an appt with my doc to see me early because I had a previous m/c and I had been having some cramping and RT shoulder pain. If they catch an ectopic pregnancy early they can treat the tubal with a methotrexate shot instead of having to remove a tube. If you are worried I would call your doc just to make sure. Good luck!!
That does seem fairly early to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy. I had an ectopic pregnancy back in June of last year. It took several blood tests and ultrasounds to diagnose the ectopic pregnancy.
Either way, you were treated for an ectopic pregnancy and you need to be monitored. Once you are given the methotrexate shot you need to follow up with your dr in timed intervals to monitor the progress of declining hcg levels.
Do you have a doctor yet? You can always call the hospital mine has an advice nurse you can speak with, sometimes they can help you over the phone or they may suggest you come in and be seen. At the hospital i go too, i went in the other day for cramping but they sent me up to the OB floor to be checked out rather than the emergency room since it was 9 at night.
Hello,
This is my first time on this website as well. I recently had a miscarriage in December, I started bleeding and have abdominal pain so went to the ER, they did a pelvic exam, sonogram as well as blood work. The sonogram did not show much however they said this was normal because I would have been five weeks. The ER physician said that my cervix was closed so either I already passed the sack or it was still there. I had a follow up appointment with the obgyn the next day.
t worry I was told I had an ectopic pregnancy and that my baby was gone at my 6 week ultrasound and I cried for a whole week until they did another ultrasound and said maybe they were wrong then by the 3rd ultrasound they saw everything that was supposed to be there!! Turns out I wasn't as far as they thought and I worried for nothing note I'm due in 10 days!!!
BUT just to put your mind at rest a little, the shoulder pain would literally be unbareable, and I also had pains in my left side with this pregnancy which was due to a small cyst on my ovary which is very common in early pregnancy, I am now 34 weeks gone. Pain at the beginning of pregnancy is common and shoulder pain is also a sign of wind.
t distinguish an ectopic pregnancy from a healthy pregnancy with a urine test. The test is usually positive with both although ectopic pregnancy is generally associated with more slowly rising HCG. If you have excessive pain on one side that concerns you, the doctor can check with an ultrasound. If you're worried, it's better not to wait because later diagnosis can lead to surgery and serious complications such as tubal rupture. Caught early, it can sometimes be chemically terminated.
My physician came to the same conclusion which was pretty scary. I was sent to an early pregnancy hospital unit who performed a trans-vaginal scan. Unbelievably, I have a healthy little kidney bean growing in the right place with a thrashing heartbeat.
I also have have a non threatening fibroid which may be causing the pain as my uterus expands. Another possibility is that my bowel is resting on my right ovary which is still slightly inflamed after hosting an implanted egg.
Symptoms of miscarriage often are similar to symptoms experienced in early ectopic pregnancy.
6 weeks is pretty early to be able to see anything. I wouldn't worry. I had an ectopic in December. The tube ruptured, massive hemorrhaging, almost died. Lost that tube and the ovary along with the baby. I got pregnant sometime in April. Don't worry. You're alright. Just give it time and watch for symptoms of another ectopic since having one makes us more likely to have another.
Last week I posted my concerns about bleeding and low progesterone levels during very early pregnancy. Yesterday, I found that it was ectopic. In the next few days I'll be given a shot to end this pregnancy. Needless, to say I'm very upset and worried. Will I be able to get pregnant again, this time for good? My doctor says we should try more aggresive treatment, meaning injectible hormones. Has anyone been in this situation? What are my chances? I'm 35 years old and have PCOS.
