FET, scans & ectopic pg

[Mildez]

I have heard with IVF you are at greater chance of ectopic despite the fact that the emby is place directly into the uterus as it does tend to wander before finding a place to implant. You would think it would be the other way around.
As I am at a great risk of another ectopic (have one tube and it's damaged tube) I enquired about IVF to prevent another ectopic happening and they said it was no guarantee and the chances were just as great through IVF.
If you BHCG has being rising accordingly I would say your chance of ectopic is very low if no chance at all. With my ectopic my BHCG was 6000 at 8weeks which apparently was very high for an ectopic pregnancy. Not sure if thats true but thats what the consultation/surgeon told me. At 5weeks it was only 60.

First HCG was 1200, but I was too flustered by the nurses response about going OS that I forgot to ask the levels!

But thanks for the info & support. Fingers crossed.

You just never know...my hcg was checked every couple of days...the day my ectopic ruptured my hcg was 19000...no idications of ectopic at all...I was just very lucky I was at the clinic when it happened or I wouldn't be here...since that experience I have always had a scan at 6 weeks...the scariest experience of my life! You just can't be too careful! Good luck xxx

Thanks for the support & stories guys. I don't have any abdomen pain at all & not a scrap of spotting - this I count as plus, even though I know there's sometimes no pain or blood until the rupture.

Fingers crossed.
