Yes, if its really Ectopic , it means baby implanted outside of uterus, and the pregnancy cannot be save,
Your HCG level got doubled every 2 days? HCG level 700 cannot see through via vaginal scan yet, at least 1500 than able to see the sac.

 

[celestaseah]

dr from kkh ask me go back every 7 days instead. I cant really count how much it increases every 2 days. But im afraid tmr go back won't see the sac.

If let say day 1 ur hcg level is 200, by day 7 your hcg should be 1600 for healthy pregnancies. But nevertheless , go for check up first ba. Don't think too much.

Anyway, don't be too upset ok, have faith and try again when u recover. You will know when your body is ready. suggest u to take tcm to nourish your body first

Saw from other thread saying that this tcm is good but I never tried before.

Hi dear,

Do a mini-confinement, if possible.

 

[celestaseah]

Yup. Am having my short confinment now(;

Hi mummies can anybody advise me which doc to see for suspected ectopic? My Hcg level was 118 on 26 Oct and 2 Nov was 191. DR say most prob its ectopic pregnancy and wants me to do surgery today to see. My transcan cant see anything. I not sure why is she rushing and thinking of having 2nd opinion. What u all think?

 

[Shirlynnler]

The reason why she is so rushing because ectopic pregnancy can be very life threatening and worse can cause u to lose a side of tube.

Your hcg level is low and possible to resolve by jab

For a normal pregnancy, hcg level should rise by double every 2 days, if you want, perhaps u should wait until it rises to 1500 (able to detect via scan) to determine if it's ectopic or not. There is also another suggestion for u.

Dear @celestaseah , I am so sorry to hear about your recent ectopic. I feel for you because I myself went through a laparoscopy in Oct to remove my right tube and fetus. Tube had ruptured, I was alone at home and fainted when I got to hospital. It was the scariest experience of my life.

Now, after a month, my HCG has dropped from 7000 (on op day) to 100+ in a week, and then down to 55 before coming back up to the 120-130 level this week. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this after an ectopic? It is exactly one month after my operation, and I feel ok - no bleeding or cramps etc. Period also has not come.

I live in Indonesia and am hoping to go to Singapore next week for a second opinion (my doctor here in Indonesia suggests taking a Methotrexate jab to get my HCG down to zero but I am not sure about it, as I already had to go through a surgery and would prefer for the HCG to drop by itself. I have been recommended Dr WK Tan at Thomson - but I would much prefer getting a recommendation from someone who has been treated for ectopic pregnancy in Singapore so that I know the doctor has experience in this. Anyone has a recommendation?

Anyone with experience in this, is it possible for the HCG to drop to zero after it has seemingly plateaued?

This is such a depressing situation - my first pregnancy after 3 rounds of IVF and now all I can think about is to get my HCG back down to zero!

Please advise...Thank you so much!

I'm in my 4th week (also about a mth) after my ectopic surgery. My hcg level went back to normal (i.e not pregnant) already.

You may want to get a second opinion at kkh or other gynae clinics on your case. I do understand that getting hcg level back to normal is like closing this unpleasant episode of your life. All the best to you.

Btw, my period has yet to resume too, I heard its between 4 and 6 weeks.

 

[Shirlynnler]

Yup, my menses also returned after 6 week. But during the waiting week, I also used opk to check for ovulation...
