Hi all, I am currently going through an eptopic pregnancy. I have been back and forward to the hospital for the past 5 weeks! This was my first pregnancy so me
& my partner were very excited. After only knowing for less than a week I started to bleed. Light spots at first then nothing for a couple of days and then
days later a little more blood. I went to A & E and they took some blood. From these results I was told my hcg levels were about normal for the stage of my
pregnancy. I was told not to worry, as I had no other symptoms for miscarriage or an eptopic pregnancy. The doctor said some women can just bleed in pregnancy.
The bleeding continued, days later I went for another blood test, my hcg levels had gone up. The doctors said this was positive news. I went for a scan as i
was 6 weeks pregnant, It was then that things started to go wrong! I had a scan but they couldn't find anything, I then had an internal scan and again
nothing was detected! I was told I had, had a miscarriage. I was very upset and shocked, I didn't understand why me!!! I had to go back for yet more blood
tests. They wanted to check that my hcg levels had gone down. After the test I received a call to say my hcg levels had gone down, the doctor said I needed to
come in for more blood test before I could be discharged. Again I went along for yet another blood test. This time I found out my hcg levels had gone up. I was
then told I was having an eptopic pregnancy. I didn't know much about eptopic pregnancies and the doctors gave me little advice or support just told me my
options. (Surgery or the methotrexate injection.)The consultant advised methotrexate. So days later I had the methotrexate injection, waited a week and then
went for more blood tests. Bad news it hadn't worked my hcg levels went up again! Had a second dose of methotrexate last week and received good news
yesterday my hcg levels have gone down. Got to go back next week for more blood test. I'm worried my hcg levels will go up again! Feel like I have put my
family through enough now! Feeling very alone and scared about the future!
