    Thanks so much, I have to wait until Monday before I will find out anything. Its killing me. I would just rather no and be able to deal with the outcome. I just pray that on Monday the U/S shows something in the Uterus and the mass on/in my tube is a cyst

    I can only pray!

    Thanks girls for all your support

    Alana, how stressful having to wait until Monday. I have my fingers tightly crossed for you that they see your bub where he/she is meant to be.

    I hope all goes well .

    Hi Alana,
    I had an ectopic in my tube back in April of this yr, which was not suspected nor diagnosed when nothing was found in my uterus - I was simply told that I had miscarried. The pain associated with ectopic pregnancy is excruciating, and much worse than normal period pain so if you find the pain unbearable go to the ER straight away. Take heart in the fact that you are being monitored by the Drs - I would think that they are waiting simply to make sure that if there is a viable pregnancy in there that they don't do anything to jeopardise it. As for the waiting, I am sorry you have to go through it - sometimes that's the hardest part. I have my for you. But please monitor your level of pain, and go straight to the hospital if you feel that it becomes unbearable. I am thinking of you xo

    i feel for you...the waiting is awful! It's so hard being in limbo.

    I hope that your HCG levels rise more and then you can see something in your uterus on the ultrasound. also if your hcg levels are rising at the rate they should, that's a good sign it's not ectopic...with ectopic they usually are lower than normal and rise slowly, or erratically (ie they can drop slightly, then go back up). sometimes i have heard 5 weeks is too early to see much.

    I dont know thay my own experience will help you...but
    i had an ectopic earlier this year. In my case they could see a sac in my uterus and thought I had had a missed miscarriage...I was sent in for a curette. after the curette though I stil had extreme pain, especially on one side (which I had had for some weeks), and my hcg levels were still high, and they then said they thought it was ectopic...my hcg levels went up and down and never went above about 900

    I hope things turn out well for you

    Thanks again for all your support. So my appointment yesterday didnt go so well, my BETA levels had only gone from 715 to 1480 (in 5 days) so when in the waiting room I new the out come already
    I had the scan and my doctor was not able to find anything in the uterus and was able to confirm that I had an eptopic. Now I am faced with the meth injection or surgery.
    Im leaning towards just getting the surgery as it is 100% and it will be gone and dealt with and then I can just move on. The injection is not 100% and may not work and then I may have to have surgery anyway, If it does work I then have to deal with having a M/C. I cant deal anymore emotional crap. Im so heartbroken that I cannot function, Im so extremly sad.

    Thanks so much for all your support, so I guess I will be leaving this board, but hopefully may see this forum again soon

    I wish you all the best with all your pending pregancies

    I'm so sorry about how it's turned out. Please make sure you get some help from the ladies in the m/c & loss area. You will need lots of support over the next little while to get over your loss & those that have been there are the best to help you through it.

    Alana, I am sorry that you are going through this emotional rollercoaster. As I previously mentioned, I had an ectopic back in April, and this time round bub made his/her way through to my uterus - so dnt stress thinking that just because you have had one ectopic you wont be able to have a normal pregnancy. Look after yourself, I'll keep an eye out for you when you get your next BFP!
