HI All
I just had an ectopic pregnancy too. Luckily i seek a second opinion.
My first gynae diagnosed as chemical pregnancy when she cld not see the sac at 6 weeks. Also, while my BHCG is going up, it was slow. I went through a through ectopic scan and confirm that its not ectopic. Was also v relieved then.
However after 2 weeks of the chemical pregnancy diagnosis on my review appt with my gynae, my menses didnt come 2 weeks after the diagnosis and my temperature remained v high (like a pregnancy temperature, at least 36.9 to 37.0 degree. However besides that, no other feelings like nausea, pain or any bleeding. I just felt perfectly normal. My gynae told me to wait for the body to discharge it.
But somehow my instinct tell me to seek another opinion. Maybe my baby wanted to save me. In the same afternoon, i went to seek an alternate opinion. The new gynae to be extra careful repeated my HCG test. The results were alarming at 18,000. I was called immediately to see him the next day urgently. I was definitely pregnant but dunno where.
I visited him the next morning and repeated the BHCG & by then, its already 22,000. He did another detailed scan and found my ectopic at the top and just at the beginning of my left tube. He mentioned it v rare to be at such a high position, partly why the transvaginal scan cannot see as it was blocked by i think the uterus and ovary at such a peculiar position.
I was send for op immediately yesterday via laprascopy to remove it, and as it has ruptured the tube, the tube has to be taken away.
Its v sad cos the doctor showed me the alive foetus and the heartbeat is v strong at the scan. It was a healthy baby, just too bad that the position was wrong.
This is my first pregnancy and I have q serious pcos and other hormonal problems, so to get myself pregnant was really difficult and to lose it is v painful. But no choice right. It is not something i can control, so have to learn to accept.
Let me know if you need me to share anything more.
Edksd, if your pregnancy is so call not viable, just make sure you see your HCG test dip to ve double confirm.
