I have been pregnant 5 times including this one. The first pregnancy I had my handsome son, the 2nd pregnancy was an ectopic that my OLD dr let go too far and it ruptured, requiring me to have an emergency surgery and loss of my left tube, the 3rd pregnancy was an ectopic that was treated with 2 doses of Methotrexate, the 4th pregnancy was a miscarriage in Dec 2007. I am currently aprox 5 weeks, my hcg levels were 97 aug.2, 283, aug 4th and 3,301 yesterday. I was just wondering if you had an ectopic how far into your pregnancy did you start to spot or bleed, I cant remember how far along I was with my 2 previous ones. Im so afraid this is another ectopic, even though I have alot of pregnancy symptoms such as swollen, sore breasts, heart burn, tiredness, frequent urination and no pain and no bleeding (yet). I go to the dr Thursady for an ultrasound would he be able to see anything, hes doing a vaginal ultrasound. ↓
From your hcg levels you have described..you do not sound as if you are having an ectopic. Also you would probably have some form of cramping on one side. I had an ectopic last Sept. I did not know at first as I had a full on period the following month at the time my af normally would arrive. (But I was really 4 weeks pg at the time. What through me for a loop was the fact that I had breakthrough bleeding a dark redish brown one week later. I immediately had a hpt and blood test and it came back postive. However after several hcg repeats and an ultrasound it was determined that I had a suspicious ectopic. My hcg was not doubling normally, however after the first round of methotrexate my hcg doubled..anyway long story short..I had 2 rounds and 7 weeks later it ended and my hcg went back to zero. i had a sonohyestergram in January '08 and my tubes were determined to be clear. I am now 7 weeks pregnant and scared something may go wrong. I know I do not have an ectopic this time..but I have yet to hear the heartbeat until next week. I wish you all the best..and it sounds like things are off to a good start for you..best of luck!! ↑
