Empty Uterus? Ectopic?
Hi. I got my first positive pregnancy test 12 days ago and it was confirmed via bloodwork as well. I used <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">fertility treatment</a> and they had me come in for a trans vaginal ultrasound today. Based on my LMP I’m 5w2d. Based on the day that I ovulated I’m 3w2d (it was monitored and I used a trigger shot so we know the exact day).
Anyways, they did an ultrasound and saw no evidence of pregnancy other than a thick lining. No sac, no nothing. They are very concerned it’s an ectopic but also didn’t see any signs near or in the tubes.
One week and two days ago my HCG level was 100. Today it’s 2,000. They’re concerned it’s too low and said it’s evident of an ectopic due to not exactly (but pretty close) of doubling every 48 hrs. They made me feel certain it’s ectopic. I’m having regular pregnancy symptoms (sore breasts, heightened smell) and although I feel light cramps (but not period like cramps or painful cramps…more like a tightness?). No bleeding.
Has anyone been in the same boat at 5w2d (or I guess technically 3w2d if going by ovulation) and what are your outcomes. When it comes to ectopic am I safe to wait until it’s confirmed and until I start having pains or is it something that needs to be terminated now even though we haven’t visually seen evidence of that either.
