Pregnant after a Loss

ectopic pregnancy questions

My 4th Beta went back up so I may be having an ectopic.
My betas were:
3/9/09 82
3/11/09 235
3/16/09 634
3/18/09 1064

They are rising but slowly.? I should be 6 weeks tomorrow so the overall number is low. I'm exact on my dates as I was triggered. My progesterone is also a little low considering i'm on 200mg prometrium.
I have an ultrasound tomorrow to try and figure it all out but anyone with an ectopic can you share your story?? How did you find out?? Symptoms??
Thank you!?

  • I am sorry you are going through this--it's SO stressful and the waiting is horrible.  :(

    My experience: super super light BFP that was gone the next day.  Then the spotting started the following day.  HcG started off SO low (11 I think) & went up super slowly.  After a couple of weeks of watching my numbers, I had an ultrasound (HcG was only 240 something at the time) and we could clearly see the baby lodged in my fallopian tube.  I had also started feeling persistent one-sided pain the day before the ultrasound.

    I had the methotrexate shot that day & it took care of everything for me, thankfully.

    You really should be able to see what's going on tomorrow.  My levels were 1/4 of where yours are & the ectopic was very easy to see.

    I will be thinking about you--please keep us posted!
