Very concerned. .Please help

Hi, I'm 39 and 6 wks 5 days. Had a scan last we with suspected ectopic which didn't show a heartbeat. Went back today for another scan. The sac and embryo has grown. But heartbeat was slow.  
Got to wait 11 days for next scan. I'm very worried as most things I'm reading are negative. Has anyone had the same with a positive outcome. ..Please.  :'(

Thank you Mary this is very reassuring. The pregnancy is in the womb.  Going back for another scan in 10 days. Keeping everything crossed for good news. We've been trying for over 2 years. Thanks for you advice xx

If it's grown and not in your fallopian tubes,have faith momma. My little one had a slow heartbeat as well in the beginning.  Now I am seven months along with a healthy baby. Good thoughts and prayers for you.

Ectopic pregnancies r not viable as the embryo has implanted itself in ur tubes instead of ur uterus.  I'm sorry to say, but I wouldn't wait it out if the embryo is growing then ur tubes can rupture and cause massive bleeding which is not good.   If it were me I would get confirmation via ultrasound and if it is, then terminate the pregnancy asap.
