Confused and Frustrated :(


On the 25th of May I took 3 at home tests that came up positive. On the 28th i went to see my primary physician due to slight bleeding/spotting. He sent me to have my blood drawn to check my HCG levels, and set up another one 48 hours later. Tuesday my hcg was 944, Thursday it was 820. Friday I went to the hospital because, although my physician stated it was an emergency, the obgyn said it could wait until Monday. The hcg levels at the hospital were 984 and my ultra sound showed a sac in the endo. canal. I am not experiencing any pain, and have pregnancy symptoms. The following monday June 3rd, I had more blood drawn, my hcg level was 1207, Thursday the 6th I had more blood drawn and on Friday I had another ultra sound to check for ectopic pregnancy due to slow increase in levels.. Friday evening the obgyn's office called me and said "You had a miscarriage, you have nothing to worry about, you're numbers will be dropping." but he insisted that i come in and take a medication called Methotrexate for tubal pregnancy. The doctor has yet to say that the egg/embryo is in fact in my tubes. My first ultra sound i was only 5 weeks, my second I was 6. OBGYN called me today June 10th and said that my hcg levels are still increasing and theyre now at 1500 and that i need to have more blood drawn and make an appointment for the medication. I'm incredibly scared, i have no evidence that i need to take this medication which has been explained to me basically as an abortion pill. I have been with my husband for 6 years, in february i went through surgery for SEVERE endometriosis. In the 6 years we have been together i have never gotten pregnant, we have never used protection, now that i've had this surgery and had tissue removed i was able to get pregnant. I need help and I have found that 3 doctors are not giving me any answers ive been told i am miscarrying then i was told im not and that its ectopic then i was told i already had a miscarriage then i was told my numbers shouldnt be increasing if i miscarried. :/ I don't know what to do at this point.

I would honestly get another opinion, maybe set up an appointment with a different obgyn as I am sure you wouldn't want to take something when you shouldn't in case they weren't 100% sure. There's always a possibility, especially since your numbers are still high if not increasing and they even said they'd drop.

I am sorry to hear what your going through. I would get another opinion, but keep in mind a tubal has no chance of survival and can cause death if it's not dealt with before it causes your tube to burst. So I'd recommend getting a second opinion asap.. like go to the hospital and demand it. I was told I could never have kids and after a miscarriage I had a beautiful daughter and am currently 10weeks prego... just keep in mind the urgency to know! And if u got prego once it will happen again!

Go to a different obgyn. Something sounds like they are unsure and that's not a good sign. Sorry your going through this. I have severe endometriosis to, I was about to have surgery this year when I found out I was prego. Doctors told me it would never happen for me and it took 4 Yeats for me to get pregnant. Praying for you

Hhmm i would definitly get a second opinion before taking anything.  I would definitly have to see proof myself before doing anything and couldnt imagine why they would be so hesitant about it.  I agree with Rachel follow your instincts.

Its weird that they wont show you. Stick with your momma instincts and demand proof before you take anything.

thank you! :) i feel like im being stubborn but they're pushing the methotrexate and i dont feel like it's time for it. they havent given me any proof that its ectopic or miscarriage. yes i have spotting but i personally know people who bled the entire first trimester and have beautiful healthy kids now. i have no pain and theyre telling me to expect it soon.

Hi hun sorry to read wat ur going through. Last year in may I went threw something very similar. My hcg levels wernt doubling etc.. was hoing bk every 2 days for over 2 weeks for blood. Had scan and there was a sac. One doctor said it was a ssc in correct place. Another it was a sudo sac. But a week later there was a yolk sac there but I had also started bleedin myself. Anyways they gave me methertrexate. But I didnt want it as I was just havin a miscarriage. I didnt have one sided pain etc... so my advice is if u feel well in urself stick to ur guns xx
