HCG hell

**Smudge** · May 14th, 2007, 05:19 PM

Things aren't going as we had hoped. For the last couple of days I have been experiencing some spotting (not bright red) and had a repeat BT last Sat. The nurses reassurred me that it is the progesterone pessaries due to being on 4 per day. Apparently these are hostile to the vag and somewhat abbrasive, which can lead to spotting etc. I have had AF type pains but nothing I wouldn't normally experience 3-4 days before AF. My spotting and paranoia continued so this morning I demanded a repeat BT. My results are below

DPO14 = 84
DPO17 = 369
DPO19 = 870
DPO21= 1450

The nurse/dr have suggested that due to the low result of todays that I must have a scan in the morning to check for possible ectopic pregnancy.

We don't know what to think

Oh Smudge...we have been on the same journey this week...hang in there it sucks...take care of yourself I've had an ectopic rupture and it's really scarey...don't think any question is too silly to ask thedoc and tell them everything even if you think it's TMI...ectopics can be tricky...I'll be praying for you and your little one xxx

Hi Smudge, I hope all went well in your scan today, I'm worried about you and praying everything is ok

Thanks so much for your thoughts. It appears as though it is not ectopic which is a bonus.

We had a fill in Dr which didn't make things easier. They did find a sac which measured 4mm but apparently too small. She told us it is likely to miscarry on its own so no need for D&C. I have a repeat BT on Friday to confirm my levels have dropped. She has instructed me to continue the pessaries and oestrogen, prolong the pain?

We feel terrible, so lost
