Hi. I think your doc is not sure herself. I have had several miscarriages and just had a ectopic pregnancy on Tuesday. Believe me doctors and the medical profession don't know how to explain things properly in these situations. I know that if you were only 1-2 weeks your scan would never pick it up but your hcg level if it's over 1250 then it would. Have you had your hcg repeated every 48hours? If its doubled and they still can't see a baby in the uterus then it could be ectopic. The only way to confirm us to have tests done. You should go to Accident and emergency tell them everything that's happened and then they should help you. You may have to be admitted to hospital but that is good so you can get all the tests and get all the help properly. x
To me it sounds like a miscarriage because once u start bleeding red blood with cramps and tissue passing, that's usually a miscarriages. But if your levels are going up then that means you are still pregnant. 1-2weeks pregnant wont show anything on the u/s but if your getting blood work done and ur levels keep rising then you are not losing the baby. Im not sure about ectopic pregnancy never had one. But something seems strange. Sorry this wasn't to helpful but I would go to the ER. If you are pregnant then there might be something they can do to help. Goodluck with everything!
Bleeding is not uncommon for pregnant women, but the tissue is usually a sign of miscarriage. I almost wonder if you have a vanishing twin.
I bled both in miscarriages and with ectopic. My hcg levels were going up and up in ectipic preg they said its called a live ectopic when the baby is getting bigger but in the wrong place tube and it will rupture soon. I had cramps both with miscarriage and ectopic and at this stage you can't be certain. You should really go to hospital.
Mamabear might be onto something, you could have conceived twins and have just lost one. you need to continue to have your hcg levels monitored.
The twin thing is exactlty popped in my mind too. May be why doc is scratching her head at this as well and just didn't think of it.
Wait..if dates switched could u have gotten pregnant again through all this? My brain is fried from dates so maybe someone else can check that..if when u miscarried it was 2-3 wks but more recently you're being told they're higher and only 1-2wks?
Usually there is a lot of pain and/or cramping associated with ectopic pregnancy, so it's unusual that you haven't felt much pain besides the stabbing vaginal ones. I definitely think you need to go in SOON to get another ultrasound and blood test. Best of luck
As far as bleeding, light to moderate bleeding is normal in pregnancy but not for an extended period of time like you and it shouldn't be enough to fill pads or anything. With my son I had like a blood cyst thing in my uterus that caused me to bleed bright red blood occasionally and once it was actually like a huge gush...but yeah your bleeding definitely is not normal.
I was also going to mention the twin thing.
hi..i actually have very similar condition as yours. i had one blood test done after i missed my period end of last month but i was spotting. test came out positive and i was told that i am pregnant four weeks but due to the spotting i was asked to do another blood test a week apart and given progesterone to help reduce spotting. done blood test a week after results shown my oestrogen is drop but hcg still increasing. was told it is not an ongoing pregnancy. stopped progestrone supplement. had bleeding straightaway the next day. more bloods and cramp that normal. having blood test tomorrow. hopefully everything ok. hcg back to zero. otherwise a scan need to be done.
How far along were you when you had your ectopic? I had one when I was 18 and what I'm going through now seems extremely similiar. With my first ectopic it was misdiagnosed as an irregular period I was almost 4 months along before I had a positive pregnancy test. As of right now I'm guessing I'm somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks along, ultra sound showed nothing. My tubes are even tied however, for the first time in 6 yrs my obgyn was worried about a pregnancy test being positive. I do have a cyst on the left ovary which it all happend the same way 10 yrs ago with the first ectopic pregnancy...I hate waiting to see whats going to happen, do you have any suggestions?
hi everyone i had a period on the 26 june but found out on the 10th july i was pregnant i have had a little bleed but no pain my hcg levels are 1250 i had a scan but they could not find baby dose that mean i have misscarried please he;p
Hi, i am looking up certain, things my key words bein, Bright red blood, tissue passing and prolonged, worsening cramps. about five months ago i had a mirena IUD placed, my doctor said that eventually my period would lesson and quite possibly cease all together, i have not quit bleeding more then one to two days since then, i dont know whats my period or if im just bleeding from the mirena placement still. my periods before the IUD were irregular going between eachother about four months in time,never experiencing cramping...i have had one miscarriage,but believe it was early on enough that i didnt experience the full effect. i do have two children and aborted my last pregnancy, please dont judge. the last week and a half ive been noticing bright red blood, tissue and have cramping that is only getting stronger. lasting the entire day. if anyone out there has experienced this please share with me what, your diagnoses or opinions may be. Thank you.

I have had three kids previuos with no bleeding what could be going on could i still be pregnat
Head to the doc, this would mean that you are 12Weeks or so already and they should be able to see the baby and heart beat, at this point you should be monitored if miscarrying, but you very much so could still be pregnant and having problems with the placenta. Keep us posted on your outcome. Good luck
I have an issue, I had a Miscarraige on Sept. 21/12 and then I went 4 weeks and had a period now I took three home pregnancy tests and all were positive. I went to the doctor yesterday and the doctor told me that I am probably not pregnant it might be the HCG levels from the last pregnancy. What doesn't make sense to me is that I had one period and now I don't have a my period and I am never late with my period, it is always on time and when I got my period last month I thought for sure everything was back to normal. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Oh and now I have to wait over a week to find out if i'm pregnant.
Hi I'm in a little bit of the same situation. I've been spotting since the first of this month. Nothing to fill up a pad. The only pain I had was lower back pain. I didn't start passing clots until two nights ago but I don't have no tissue coming with it my hcg levels are dropping an the doctors don't know if I'm miscarring, it's in my tube or it's going to be normal at the end. I was put on bed rest ontil further notice of what's going on. I been in the hospital twice, an the first time they told me I had a spontaneous miscarriage, I go see my dr the next day he ran test an said I didn't, I go back to the hospital they tell me they not sure I could have had a miscarry but not sure so I'm back in forth now getting blood working wondering what's going to happen next. So good luck hope everything works out for you. I know the frustration. I'm going threw it to.
God it sounds like an ectopic pregnancy thtz why they cant see anything, and sharp paina r common in both ectopic and miscarriages

Hi, I'm 22 with 2 kids. Youngest is just turned 1. Ive been late for my Ps for 2 months. Ive taken 4 HPTs, first two were two weeks after missed period, third on the third week and latest was two days ago at the Docs. All NEGATIVE! ALSO, had a pelvic ultrasound same day as last PT and Nurse told me I have an empty uterus with blood build up. Im confused! I took a blood test straight after my U\S and am booked in to see a Gygno on the 6\1\13 which is two weeks from now. Im freaking out because I feel pregnant. Breasts are definitely tender, sensitive, nipple area darker. I am bloated to the point if I drink two glasses of liquid im instantly bloated (which is exactly the feeling Ive had with my two previous Pregnancies) Not to mention mood swings have been up and down ever since my missed period. Blue veins on breast and arms are more visible! Btw last period was end of nov. Doc says Im definitely not pregnant! I feel 'different' and I dont understand what is going on I havent ever missed a period before and now Im two months late with neg pt and u\s results. Hoping my blood tests show what is happening, im scared i am pregnant and the fetus has grown inside tube or that Ive misscarried without realizing? Ive had brownish discharge a week after missed period for two days then on second week of missed period it was clear to yellow discharge with itching and an odor which worries me. Now Im getting clear discharge with slight abdominal cramping and on my back, my gums are even bleeding. Im so confused my body is going through the symptoms of early Pregnancy but so far tests are saying neg. Is it possible my blood tests will detect Pregnancy with an empty uterus or could it be the doc couldnt see fetus coz too early????????? I need answers, this stress isnt helping at all. Anyone experienced anything similar please let me know. Thank you.
Ps
Doc referred me to Gyno before having blood taken. 'Gyno' spoke to me for five mins and mentioned i could possibly have thyroid\fibroid??? Not sure she rushed me to the pathologist so quick. Lol. Ahhhh
I havent experienced what youre experiencing but sounds like a misscarriage? Im sorry thats my best guess seeing as U\s shows empty sac right? Because you could still have positive Pregnancy test, seeing as hormones are still in your body at that point, i could be wrong but i hope everything's okay with you! Could also be your baby is growing inside your tube instead which is why doc cant see baby in uterus? There could also be many other reasons, mind you, im only stating what Ive researched recently so im sorry if this has upset you im sure your doc will help you and your bf. I hope and pray all you ever wanted happens.
Im so sorry just read your post properly and youre 12 weeks or more. Well, does that rule out ectopic Pregnancy? Wouldnt the tube have ruptured by 12....
A misscarriage is all I can think of hun I really do hope youre okay! X
