Hi girls, so I am 5 weeks and 2 days and last night I had slight bleeding (bit of mucus and light red). After I wiped it stopped. This morning there was no trace of any blood what so ever.
Later in the morning at work I went to to the toilet and wiped and had a fair bit of bright red blood, like last night I wiped it and it pretty much stopped 10 minutes later. There was no clots, just red blood. (enough to cover a tissue) Sorry for all the in depth explanations. But not enough that I thought I had M/C
So after this I booked an appointment with my doctor and got another blood test to check my HCG and Blood Type. (waiting on results) I also got a referral for U/S
I went for the U/S and they could not see anything in the uterus. They said that my left tube was swollen and had fluid (not sure if they meant blood)
They said that they expected early signs of an eptopic. Biut could not say 100% cause they were not even sure they could see a defiente sac/baby in the tube.
I have had cramping since I ovulated but have not had pain in any one side.
It is too early for them too see anything at 5 weeks? Could they be wrong. They honestly cant tell me if it is an eptopic or not..
The receptionist at my fertility doctors said that she believed that it may be too early to see anything at all yet.
Has anyone had this same situation? and have they been wrong??
I have another appointment with my specialist tomorrow. Im just worried that I may take there word for it and if I waited another week it may have been too early and everything is ok?
sweetie- It's unsusal though, with some women it might just be too early thouhg like with my first scan - nothing but a baked bean.
i think it really depends on the person plus you might be ealier thatn you though which means they might see something next week.
Do you drink enough water before the scan??
i feel your pain, with my son at 5 weeks the ultrasound sounds showed a sack in the uterus butno heartbeat. they found one at 8 weeks.
with this pregnancy i has a scan at 5 weeks and they found a heartbeat already.
I'm so sorry you are going through such a stressful time at the moment . I hope you get some clearer answers today. I have my fingers crossed that it is still too early to see anything via u/s.
I had a similar situation in January of last year. **It didn't end positively so don't read any further if you don't want to.** I was around 6 weeks pg when I started to bleed. I had an u/s and they couldn't find anything in my uterus, but they found a small mass in one of my tubes. I went to emergency and was assessed, but they decided to check my hCG levels for a few days before doing anything because the mass was so small. Thankfully I miscarried naturally without any further intervention, but it was a very scary time because no one could say for sure what was happening and I felt like I was left in limbo. I fell pg again the next month and went on to have my beautiful DS2.
I also wanted to write and say hope all goes well with you. i was in South EAst Asia when i fell pregnant and a doctor there have me an U/S I would've been around 5 weeks and they couldn't see anything. It left us in limbo and we decided to head home, i had slight bleeding when i got home and it was very scary, but i'm 21 weeks now and all is well. try and stay strong and positive. Hugs to you
Suspected Eptopic - I need some advice
