  • I am so sorry you are going through this. I went through 3 weeks of beta hell with my ectopic. I have to agree completely with skiboston, please listen to your gut instincts are telling you. You have to be your own advocate!

    Unfortunately, with my ectopic, we could not detect it on the u/s because my levels were so low (which would probably be the case with yours as well). But they did not see anything in the uterus and I was still have betas all over the place so they decided on methotrexate at that time.

    Please don't hesitate to contact me and private message me if you have any questions or just want to vent.

  • Oh no! Will they do an u/s to check? or just keep checking betas? I'm so sorry! T's and P's for non- ectopic and betas to move up correctly

    ETA_ I am high risk for ectopic and my GYN said to have an u/s immediately after my post HPT so that we can check for ectopic 

  • I'm sorry. I hope that isn't the case. Do you go back in 2 days from now for another draw?
