Hi Kaylajay

I've had two ectopics now (with a miscarriage and a healthy baby in between) and I'm now pregnant again (14dpo today) so can totally sympathise with the fear.

TBH the serial hcgs are not all that useful. An early scan (5-6weeks) is the best although having a current hcg level at the time of the scan is also useful (if they can't see anything they need to know what your level is)

For me, gas pain and cramping us a very normal early pregnancy symptom. In fact, when my previous ectopic ruptured I felt a little silly going to the ED, I was sure they were just going to say it was bad gas!! But the nurse reassured me that it's way better to be safe than sorry. So if it's sharp gas pain that doesn't turn into gas it's worth getting checked.
It's an awful 2 weeks for me between bfp at 9-12dpo and scan at 5-5.5
weeks.
My GP said to wait till 6 weeks for my scan but since my last ectopic ruptured at 5.5 weeks I'm not taking that chance! I think I'll go at 5+2.
All the best, I hope this is one is safe and sound and sticky!!
