Babyjo I am really sorry for posting this and I don't want to sound insensitive or upset you more then the nightmare I am sure you are already going through. But I just wanted to let you know what happened to me and how I wish things were different.

I am surprised the Dr or hospital or where ever you went would not want to follow this up more quickly then they are if they suspect ectopic pregnancy is the most likely. I am praying you have lost a twin and thats why you had some bleeding and lower BHCG levels to begin with and bub is safe and sound just hiding from the sonographer.

Have you been to the ED department? I would insist on a repeat scan today if possible or tomorrow as after the BHCG over 2000 they can generally pick it up but not before. Or even another BT to see what the BHCG is doing. If its still rising, if so is it doubling within 48hrs. If its not rising accordingly but rising it would sent alarm bells ringing. Even if it was a fraction under 20000 when they did the initial scan they wouldn't have seen anything. If bub is ectopic then you can have the option to have methotrexate before the BHCG hits 4000 generally if there is no bleeding inside and no heartbeat. I had an ectopic pregnancy which was picked up too late which resulted in me loosing my whole tube and almost my life which still is very hard to deal with when we already had so much trouble ttc. The loosing my tube bit I am talking about. My chances of concieving again are reduced because of the damage that was done, then having my tube removed in an emergency situation and I wished I was treated with methotrexate instead of the surgery. It was never an option for me due to the level my BHCG was and the rate it was rising (which was every 2.5days so close to a uterine pregnancy)

If you do have an ectopic pregnancy then the methotrexate is certainly not something without risks but if it saves the area where bub is then thats a good thing for future ttc. Most common place of course is the tube and if used early enough then its a very effective way of treating you over surgery.

When I had my ectopic my bleeding at 6weeks went for 7days. It was pink and very mucosy with slight bits of tissue in it. Apparently with ectopic pregnancy the bleeding often has alot of mucous with it plus pink blood. I know mine certainly wasn't like a m/c and wasn't like a period either. It was no where near as painful as my m/c was a few months earlier and didn't have near the amount of red blood and clots and tissue that my m/c had or even a period for that matter. And apparently what I have described is very typical in an ectopic pregnancy.

I really am sorry to go into the panic mode I am just surprised that they are even leaving it for a few days before trying to determine exactly what is going on. I hope and pray that bub is ok and I am wishing you a speedy diagnosis.
