Ectopic Pregnancy - duration?

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

Hi ladies -

I am a periodic poster in this forum and a regular in Oct 13.  I am at the tail end (I believe) Of an Ectopic Pregnancy.  I started bleeding on January 30 and got a positive pregnancy test that day.  Best I can determine, we concieved around New Years.

Since Jan 30th, I have had a vaginal U/S (they think they were able to see an empty sac)  and betas every week.  My HCG rose for the first two weeks in Feb (up to a little over 2000) and then started to fall.  I'm still sitting at betas of 1040 today and am still bleeding.  No pain or discomfort, so my doctor is not worried. 

I am just curious, for those of you who have been through this, how stinking long does this take?  I'm happy to see my betas falling but this feels like FOREVER.  I had a miscarriage in Dec of 2012 and it was a week of heavy bleeding and then it was basically over (physically I mean). 

Any experiences you are willing to share would be appreciated.

    So sorry you have to deal with this. 

    Did they confirm this was ectopic? Did they see the sac in the uterus or the tube itself?

    I know every woman is different and these things take time but to the best of my knowledge EP can be serious and I would think they would want it resolved sooner rather than later. 

    Hugs.

    I am so sorry for your loss.  Everything really depends on your diagnosis.  I did not have an EP, but I had a PMP last year and my betas were 2,500 at one point.  I was advised not to TTC for a year after so that they could monitor my betas.  I would think that the doctor would also be cautious with an EP and want you to drop to the negative numbers.  I had a D&C last year in April and my betas were not negative (from the 2,500 starting point) until August.  They actually plateaued somewhere in the middle.  T&Ps for a speedy recovery and I hope that you get the answers you are looking for soon!

    BFP#2:   2/7/14 ~ m/c 2/20/14 ~ possibly due to chemical pregnancy ~ TG no D&C is needed
