Hi ladies, I wanted to send an updated post as you were following my progress & in case someone reads this in the future & it relates to them.

I had my follow up HCG test yesterday at the early pregnancy centre & the midwife called a couple hours later to let me know they'd actually jumped back up to 400+ from 130 the week prior.

So I was back in for another scan first thing today, which revealed I did in fact have an ectopic. Oddly there still wasn't any pain except for a dull bruise sensation when they were probing me during the scan, which was only on one side where the mass was (they thought the mass was a shadow last week, but it had grown). I went in for surgery & got the tube removed & the doctor told me afterwards that it was small but it had actually started to bleed so I was really lucky to get in when I did.

I can't praise the Australian medical system enough, after reading some horror stories from women overseas, I feel very lucky. I have an excellent local hospital (RPA Sydney) where everyone has looked after me so well, and we haven't spent a cent.

Now it's lots of rest, & back to the drawing board when I'm well enough.

Xx
