I feared I was having an ectopic pregnancy, previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EctopicSupportGroup/s/fevdRLbaOR
After 18 days of bleeding and continual slow hcg rise, my hcg has finally dropped, from 260ish a week ago to 88 two days ago to 44 today. Thank god.
This loss started at 5 weeks, and has been the longest ongoing early loss and bleeding I’ve had out of my now five total in 9 months.
Details:
First day of LMP: 22/03
First vvvvf positive: 9 DPO, 16 April, hcg result that day was <5, so considered not pregnant.
Hcg result 4 days later at 13DPO was 18. Convinced it would be another chemical.
Started bleeding on 28th April, 21 DPO, have been bleeding since, from pinky red blood, to dark red, blood clots (was heavy for 3 days), now lightened, but still have blood everytime I wipe. Sometimes dark, something pinky red. Assumed it was another chemical loss (I’ve had 4 in 8 months).
Had a hcg test on 1 May at 24 DPO was 150.
My tests kept getting darker and still bleeding by Monday 4th May so went to the emergency department (though I had no pain). I was 6
weeks 1 day by this point They ran blood tests, did an ultrasound, a vaginal ultrasound, couldn’t see anything in uterus, or anywhere else, no signs of liquid/blood anywhere.
My hcg had increased to 218 since 1 May though. They ruled it as a miscarriage, no signs or symptoms physically, in ultrasound or blood tests of ectopic or PUL and sent me home.
Today is my 10th day of bleeding, 30DPO, 6 weeks 3 days. Did a test tonight and it’s even darker!! Surely after bleeding for 10 days, and my hcg increasing so slowly, the miscarriage would be nearly finished and my hcg should be dropping to nothing ?!
Is it likely the hospital have messed up and I have an ectopic or PUL still ongoing?! I’m so stressed out and scared!
