Those pink ebay HPT's urgent advice?

**Mildez** · May 17th, 2013, 08:03 AM

I have no idea if this option is feasible with a possible ectopic, but given your certainty that this is not a viable pregnancy, is RU486 a possibility? It's something I'd ask a doctor as I dont know what happens with it when a pregnancy is not in the uterus or whether any further damage to the tube could result.

i do know that general advice for an ectopic in a damaged tube is to remove the tube, in case necrosis sets in and causes other damage to the body. With my ectopic at 5 weeks, there was already necrosis.

I would assume RU486 wouldn't be an option. Ive certainly never seen it used in an ectopic pregnancy. I can only hope the pregnancy isn't in my tube. The consultant said it could very well be in the abdomen as when I had it checked years ago it was very much opened it was its ability to move which would cause a problem. So he thought there was a good chance it didn't even make it into the tube to start with. Or maybe in the other side which is also quiet possible. Either way I don't see the sense in waiting to find out.

I'm suppose to have another BT today not sure when I will get the results however. Its been done at the hospital so I might get them today even. My pregnancy test was ever so slightly lighter this morning and I think it took a fraction longer to come up so I am praying to God that the HCG drops of on its own over the next few days and I wont need surgery or the injection. Either way I know ectopics can go up and down so I'm not getting excited yet but hopefully my body can do it on its own.

I really hope it can resolve itself too.

I've been doing more googling. Apparently expectant management is normal for low HCG. Also, the mifepristone (RU486) is used in conjunction with methotrexate in some cases, but not on it's own for an ectopic.

Thinking of you.

That's good to know thankyou L&B. On Wednesday my hcg was only 44 but Thursday and Friday the line was darker then Wednesdays but todays I am sure it is lighter then the last 2days so FX expectant management is all I'll need.

I hope it does resolve on its own.

HCG is 32 now so FX it keeps going down. It was done at a different lab so they said there will be variations between them and they said if ectopic it could very well go up anyway. I hope it keeps going down.

I hope it resolves naturally for you sweet.

I've just waited 48hrs before doing another HPT and I have been loosing lots of clots and I honestly expected it to be a BFN or very close to it but nope the darkest BFP yet. So devastated. After the HCG going down I wasn't expecting this. I really thought this would be the end for this but apparently it couldn't be that easy.

Crap! So sorry, hun.

**Ladylove** · May 21st, 2013, 04:01 PM

Oh Mildez. You must be desperate for more closure / conclusion now.

**forshelby** · May 21st, 2013, 07:09 PM

here for you lovely lady....

**Mildez** · May 22nd, 2013, 07:58 PM

Thanks all. My bleeding has settled to almost non existent which worries me as my normal AF goes for a lot longer then this has. I couldn't help myself and did another POAS and the line is a lot fainter now which is good. Still there but definitely a lot lighter then yesterday. I have an appointment on Friday for more BT so FX I get good results then.
