I realise the title sounds odd but that’s exactly what appears to be happening.

So on 4th feb I found out I was pregnant. A digital test said pregnant 1-2 weeks. 6th feb I had heavy cramping and started spotting. 8th feb I started heavy bleeding that lasted that weekend. Tuesday I rang the drs and was sent to the EPU for a scan. They couldn’t see anything and told me they think I’ve had a miscarriage (which is what I thought) but as I still had positive tests they took bloods. My level taken that day were 51, when they took them again 48 hours later they were 67. This confused them and they became concerned about an ectopic pregnancy. They told me to come back in a week to take bloods again. I didn’t get to a week as I had some pain again and they asked me to ring them if that happened. They asked me back in on feb 19 and took bloods. My levels had fallen to 44 and so again they said they thought everything was fine, and that my levels were just taking a while to go down. 48 hours later my levels were still 44 so they did another scan just to confirm they still couldn’t see anything. The entire time this was happening I was getting positive pregnancy tests, a digital test would say pregnant 1-2 weeks.

Well they said they wanted to wait 2 weeks as they believed all of the hormone would be out of my system by then. 2 weeks would be this Friday. I’m supposed to take a pregnancy test and only call in if it’s positive.

Tonight I have really sore boobs again so even though it’s a couple of days early I decide to take a test as I had a digital one left over from when I was first testing. It says pregnant 2-3 weeks. I am super confused as this means my levels must now be higher than when I originally went in. And yet I’m supposed to have had miscarriage. I’m going to ring them tomorrow even though it’s a day earlier because honestly this is ridiculous and I’m completely fed up. I feel like it’s giving me a false hope that maybe it was all just a big mistake. Ergh!

UPDATE:

Just a quick update as whenever I find these threads I always wish I knew the final outcome haha.

So after some more bloods in which my levels rose but still only slightly, and another internal scan where nothing could be seen, I’m now waiting in hospital for a laparoscopy and d&c. It was a bit of a shock actually as I came for bloods and a scan yesterday and went home with surgery scheduled today. Apparently even though nothing is seen and nothing has ruptured it’s still classed as an emergency surgery, hence having to be in the very next day.

They said they will have some answers for me on what has caused all this when I wake up.

FINAL UPDATE:

Ok, last update! I went into surgery Tuesday for a laparoscopy and possible D&C. Turns out D&C was not needed as they found the pregnancy in my right Fallopian tube. It had completely destroyed the tube and was bleeding (not a rupture, bleeding was inside the tube). Crazy to think something so small they couldn’t see it on the scan caused so much damage! Anyway, they removed the tube and closed me back up.

So I’m now home, very sore but I’m sure that will go over the next few days. I’m glad they decided to do the surgery when they did, saved me the pain and danger of a rupture. I don’t think having one tube will be that big of a deal, although I’m now classed as high risk in early pregnancy so if I fall pregnant again I have to have an early scan to determine the pregnancy is in the right place.

I also think in a way I’m luckily that I had come to terms with all this mentally before the surgery. My levels never got above 334 so I knew that it would never be a viable pregnancy. I had time to accept this and so the only real healing I have to do is physically. Obviously I do wish I could be sitting here as one of the people that say it’s all ok and they found a healthy baby, but in reality I’m very lucky that everyone involved with my care really took the time to listen to me and monitor me so well. I know it could have gone very differently.

Follow up is an hcg check in a week and then post op check in 6 weeks. Then I’m good to go!
