ectopic pregnancy

[alarkins]

Hello,
This is my first time on this website as well. I recently had a miscarriage in December, I started bleeding and have abdominal pain so went to the ER, they did a pelvic exam, sonogram as well as blood work. The sonogram did not show much however they said this was normal because I would have been five weeks. The ER physician said that my cervix was closed so either I already passed the sack or it was still there. I had a follow up appointment with the obgyn the next day.  She stated that my cervix was open and the sonogram didn't show anything.  She said I would pass everything naturally.  In January (4weeks later) I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible abdominal pain, I was diaphoretic and I ended up passing out.  My husband rushed me back to the ER where they found out I had an ectopic pregnancy. I asked if it was the same pregnancy but the ER doctor said that it wasn't. Is it possible to have an ectopic pregnancy at 4 weeks or so? Please help

I had an etopic pregnancy and didnt no till i th severe pain. I had to have emergency surgery and remove my right tube. 4weeks seems a little early. That was at 9wks i had to hav th surgery and i didnt even no i was pregnant. Scary times. But now im 38+1 so dnt worry about havin babies cos it defo does happen and iv only got one tube now.

I've not heard of a tube rupturing either at 4 weeks... Usually it's much later. At 4 weeks the fetus is still extremely small.

I had bleeding like my period. I didn't have pelvic pain just slight cramps that usually went along with my period.  I just figured that I was passing the rest of my miscarriage from December because I did not bleed after I went to the doctor in December and they said it was a miscarriage. they said they wouldn't have to do a d and c that I could pass it naturally and to wait one cycle. I ended what I thought was my period and the next night is when I woke up with excruciating abdominal pain.

Oh and my numbers were high every single time and doubled as normal. Just like a normal pregnancy. So do not be fooled by a doctor ruling out ectopic based on your beta numbers.

Idk about rupturing at 4 weeks. I have had three ectopic pregnancies and they were all fairly similar. I also had an emergency surgery with one and that was at 8 weeks. They were able to save my tube although it ruptured. 4 weeks is very early and with my ectopic pregnancies I found out they were ectopic by the 6, 7, and 8th week ruptured. Kind of sounds like the doctors were trying to cover their a s s e s if you ask me. Did you have any brown or pink blood come prior to passing out?? Abdominal pain and shoulder pain are also strong indicators of ectopic. I'm so sorry for your loss. I've been there. If you need anyone I'm here :) and don't get discouraged you can still conceive just as soon as you become pregnant you need a proper ultrasound and I demand it when I go to the er. With the right equipment they should be able to see it by the 6th week for sure.

Yes. All of our bodies respond differently to things like that .
