  • The doctor and nurse seem to think I'm ok to wait until my scheduled appointment tomorrow because I'm not doubling over in pain.  They said I could come in today if I wanted to but the fact that I was able to come to work helps indicate that my tube hasn't ruptured or anything that I was affraid of. They told me that I'm fine to take medicine so I took 1500 mg of extra strength tylenol which has taken the edge off.

    @islandmonkey8, I'm hoping the same thing.  I really hope that the bleeding and pain is a sign of a regular miscarriage and that it was just too small to be able to see via ultrasound on Sunday.  While neither outcome is ideal, I'd much prefer that to ectopic.

  • I'm sorry xan. :(

    My first BFP was actually much like this, except I didn't get betas done until the u/s at 7w. There was nothing to see at the u/s anywhere. My bloodwork seemed to indicate it was ectopic. I actually did end up miscarrying on my own, but I also took the shot just in case (the shot is methotrexate. I was not educated on anything at the time. Had I been, I probably wouldn't have taken the shot since I did miscarry). I didn't have a tube rupture and only had some minor dull aches/cramps. I have questioned with every dr since if it was ectopic or just in the process of miscarrying at the time of u/s. They all concur it was likely ectopic, even though we never actually found anything in my tubes to confirm this.

    In any case, I hope that you can begin to move forward soon and look to the future. I know it's hard to do so. :(
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

  • I'm so sorry again, sweetie. And I hate that you're in pain now, but I hope it means a natural m/c rather than going through shots. I hope this next appt finally brings closure and you can both heal and prepare for your next moves.

  • Thinking of you this morning, Xan. Sending good vibes. Ectopic is pretty serious, so I just hope it isn't that.

    I had a disappearing pregnancy. They thought it may be ectopic but it just kind of disappeared. Nothing more than a *tiny* bit of dark brown spotting. Pregnancy doesn't always make sense or follow a normal route.

    I hope there is some peace after all this. You've had a rough journey. <3

  • Xan921 said:
    I just received a call from my nurse and my betas dropped from 519 on Sunday to 121 today, so they don't believe it is ectopic afterall but rather just a really early miscarriage that they weren't able to see via ultrasound.  I'm so relieved.  I go back on Friday for another beta draw and then once it gets back to 0 we can try again if we want.

    Whew, I feel like I'm finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
    I'm SO glad you got some better news today! <3
