Hi. I had an ectopic last July and was treated with methotrexate. I hadn’t realised I was pregnant and had just been hoping the three weeks of spotting was just a weird period. I did a test and was so shocked . Anyway, in October I had an HSG, which confirmed there’d been no visible damage to my right tube. My periods came back pretty soon after and once we had waited the three months we were told to, we started trying again.

I am now kind of regretting being so quick to try again. After my period didn’t come on time and a few days of light brown spotting (which, if I’m honest I wouldn’t have even noticed if my ectopic hadn’t made be super paranoid about these things!) I did a pregnancy test and it was faintly positive. That was Saturday and I’ve done a few more (I know, I probably shouldn’t but I’m so scared) and they’re still really faint.

I’m still having this light brown spotting. I have a scan scheduled for ten days time, when I’ll be six weeks. I’m finding this waiting agonising. I’m so scared it’s happening again.

I don’t really know what I’m hoping for anyone to say here but I just wanted to share with people who may understand. People keep telling me it’s normal to have brown spotting but since my last experience, and the fact it’s been going on nearly a week (since 10dpo) I’m terrified.
